T.J. Hammer

So, my uncle got hit in the head with a hammer, and in a weird way, he did it to himself. I've provided the following pictures to describe the sequence of events. Click to enlarge (slightly).
In this first picture, you can see my uncle working with a ladder in the back yard. I'm in the middle carrying some jam in from the garage. See if you can find the hammer.
Here you can clearly see the jam I'm carrying. I wasn't wearing a shirt at the time, as you can also clearly see. Unbeknownst to me, my uncle has attempted to move the ladder, causing the hammer to dislodge from its perch. This is, however...knownst to my uncle, though there is little he can do about it.
In this final frame, you can see what has happened - I have inadvertently dropped the jam. And my uncle got hit in the head with a hammer from about 15 feet. He actually didn't cry out at all (and I actually didn't drop the jam), he just said, "Uh, Brett? I think I'm hurt here..." and I ran to grab the ladder (not pictured). He put a towel on it, and I looked to see if he would need stitches, then after the bleeding had mostly subsided, he went back out to finish the project. His biggest concern was not letting my aunt find out what had happened. I didn't laugh until well after I was sure he was ok, though I think I did laugh before he did, which is in poor taste. Apparently the next day he started bleeding while ordering at a restaurant, which freaked the waitress out a bit.
