I enjoyed the lovely diagram, but the incident sucks:
I'm assuming "powder actuated tool" is the nail gun that uses .22 casing/gun powder to fire, usually used for shooting nails into concrete. What an idiot. The unfortunate victim was 22 years old.

A carpenter apprentice was killed when he was struck in the head by a nail that was fired from a powder actuated tool. The tool operator, while attempting to anchor a plywood form in preparation for pouring a concrete wall, fired the gun causing the nail to pass through the hollow wall. The nail travelled some twenty-seven feet before striking the victim. The tool operator had never received training in the proper use of the tool, and none of the employees in the area were wearing personal protective equipment.
