My attempt to build a floating shelf ended with a trip to the emergency room

I was so proud of my level line until the whole thing, brackets and all, came down on my head while I was admiring it. My husband walked in, saw the gash, and said, 'I thought you were hanging a shelf, not reenacting a cartoon.' Anyone have a foolproof method that doesn't involve head trauma?

Feel your pain, I once tried to mount a TV and the whole wall anchor system just gave up. Maybe it's just me but I'm sticking to picture hooks now.

Guess my wall decided it was time for a floor TV instead!
