Nail-Gun Injuries Treated in Emergency Departments --- United States, 2001--2005

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5614a2.htm
In 2005, approximately 12,800 (96%) of 13,400 consumers injured by nails guns and 28,000 (98%) of 28,600 workers injured by nail guns were men.
During 2001--2005, annual consumer nail-gun injuries ranged from 13,400 to 16,200, with an annual average of 14,800 ED-treated injuries (Figure). During the same period, work-related nail-gun injuries ranged from 19,300 to 28,600, with an annual average of 22,200. A steady increase in injuries among consumers occurred during the 1990s. Similar data for workers were not available before 1998.
Another type of firing mechanism, the alternative sequential-trip trigger, requires the nose contact to be depressed before the manual trigger, rather than simultaneously with the trigger, to discharge a nail, making unintentional discharge of nails less likely. Injury surveillance in the residential construction industry has indicated that approximately 65%--69% of injuries from contact-trip tools likely could be prevented through use of a sequential-trip trigger (6--8).

What will the anti-gunners think when they find out there is a better firing system?
LOL !!!
