Maybe it's the altitude?

A man in Littleton, CO (near the mile-high city) survived with a 4-inch nail in his skull. Undiscovered for six days, the nail had been embedded by a nail gun that backfired. A toothache and some blurred vision led the man to seek medical attention, and an x-ray revealed the cause. Guess it's a good thing he didn't have to take a flight that week; he would really have flummoxed the folks at security.
