At the cabinet shop I worked at they taught a kid how to use a gun that fired wide shallow staples.
He didn't understand. He held the gun nose up, pressed his hand firmly on the safety, and pulled the trigger. The tips came through the back of his hand and the wide part split the palm.
Worst I saw, but we weren't using framing nailers either. I got used to pulling staples out of my hand/arm.
That shop was anti-safety conscious. The old timers were all zonked on pills and the equipment had all the safeties ripped off. I'm still surprised I didn't see a limb come off.
