I have been party to two range related "staple" accidents.
Two more serious ones anyway. Both USPSA related, setting up or building stages. Somehow a friend sunk a 1/2" long staple completely flush into his finger. Never did figure than one out, how he managed to pull that off. On the morning setup of a big match that did not go well for him from that point on.
The other wasn't really a staple, but a couple inch long brad. Building an elaborately decorated stage for a large match. (same match, different year) Fired from a paslode brad gun, a friend put it all the way side to side through his thumb. Though it happened a few days before it, the match did not go well for him either as you can imagine.
