Nail gun to cheek
Mishap with a nail gun -- nail fired into nail causing recoil of the nailgun up and turning 180 degrees -- resulting in the release of the nail into his face.
Fortunately all vital structures were avoided and the nail was retrieved with the aid of fluoroscopic guidance. Structures to be concerned with in the area include the facial artery, facial venous network, duct from the parotid salivary gland (Stenson's), and the facial nerve.
Luckily too, the nail bounced off the bone and was not lost into the sinus.

Excellent! It's funny the nail gun links that come up associated with this post.
