Hopefully such an awful fate will never again befall upon innocent souls. In fact my school has banned fingernails as well as teeth as they believe that they are too dangerous for minors to handle. Every year my neighbourhood gets together to raise awareness for fingernail related injuries and also to honour the deaths of the 0.08 people who die each year average due to fingernail related incidents.
