All joking aside, a friend who worked in construction had a coworker shot in the head with a nail by another worker with a nail gun. Not on purpose. The company put all kinds of safety with nail guns measures into place after that. Can you imagine? "1. Don't aim nail gun at anyone's head. 2. Make sure no one's head is between your nail gun and the board you're nailing. 3. Do not remove your hardhat in the presence of another worker with a nail gun." Okay, I'll stop.
... loaded with framing nails...

Wire back the safety? ---- never heard of it.....
I will neither confirm nor deny that I have done this.
Many years ago I had a friend that nailed his shoe to his foot.
Another one I heard was reaching around the backside of the board to feel if the nails were gong through (at the wrong time).
