A 29-year-old construction worker in London accidentally jumped onto a 15-cm nail that pierced through his shoe. He was in extreme pain.

The man was rushed to the emergency room and sedated with pain medication. However, when the doctors pulled out the nail and took off the man’s shoe, they discovered that his foot was completely untouched. The nail had neatly slid between his toes without penetrating his foot.
