      Real life is not a video game, headshots don’t automatically kill you. People can survive all kinds of weird incidents and likewise die to things that don’t seem all that dangerous, like slipping in the shower

        Phineas Gage had a iron bar blown through his skull by an unexpected dynamite detonation leaving a hole that a person could reach through from each side and touch their fingers on the inside, and he lived for years afterwards and held jobs and everything.

        Then again, John Ritter died when his aorta just spontaneously unzipped inside of his chest. The human body is wild.

      I feel like the obvious answer here is that getting shot in the face doesn’t necessarily mean getting shot in the brain, even though that is rarely survivable as well.
