Builder accidentally fires nail gun into his own penis

The builder had been using a hydraulic hand nail gun at work in Swansea when he mistimed pulling the trigger and sent the nail flying into his groin, just centimetres from his penis. Although the 22-year-old man doesn't wish to be named, his colleague Mathew Meagher was on hand to capture photographs of the horrific injury - presumably so he can look back fondly when he's got over the pain. Mathew explained: "For want of a better phrase, the nail was pretty much through his d**k."
The man received the excruciating injury on Thursday afternoon while working on a site outside Swansea in Wales. Surely this injury would have him writhing on the floor in agony? Well, apparently not. Mathew says his mate 'wasn't fazed' by the accident. Mathew, who runs his own building company, said: "He was very, very lucky. If it had been any closer the doctors said it would have gone straight through one of the main arteries.

"He came over to me and said he'd shot himself. It's something that shouldn't happen, and at first I couldn't see anything.
"And then I saw it. I just went white. I said to him, 'Jesus, what's that?' I couldn't believe it.
"He wasn't crying or screaming in pain or anything, he was just dead calm. It hadn't fazed him at all.
"He said his leg was starting to go numb, but his demeanour just wasn't changing." Mathew claims the steely builder even asked whether he should pull the nail out himself, but he advised against it for fear of causing more damage.
To add insult to injury, the patient then faced an hour-long drive from the building site to an A&E department in Swansea. The construction worker was rushed straight to surgery once doctors were shown where the nail was and he has since made a full recovery.
