For those wondering - 1. The hard hat absorbed the initial impact of the metal object 2. The hard hat forced said metal object to slide just above the mans head before snapping (the white bits on the ground are the hard hat). 3. The only thing the man really felt was the impact and pressure from the hard hat coming into contact with the metal object. If this man wasn’t wearing a hard hat his skull would have been crushed or spilt wide open. The reason he is holding is neck is because of reason 3. The extreme pressure in a short amount of time caused him to crane his neck in an awkward position for a split second. Any longer and his neck probably would have snapped, which is why the person (who I will assume is a supervisor) immediately orders him to go see an on-scene medic (most major construction companies have an on-scene medic for minor injuries like this).

Interesting video on the usefulness of hard hats. Not such a good idea though to grab his neck then yak the guy around, up and off the floor when their is a potential of cervical spinal injury.

Agreed but in such a panic and heavy machinery they would have wanted to move him to safety without hesitation.

Honestly I think all that movement was his own adrenaline.

I think he grabbed his neck to keep it still.

Anyone that works around steel for bit will have the gouges on their hard hat to prove why it’s important to wear it.

I saw a lift sliding door come off its tracks after the joiner/carpenter had slid it shut turned around to walk down three steps and it hit him right on top of his hard hat splitting it open but he was not even scratched by it. I was hit on the head by swinging hooks on a crane after the banks-man stopped lowering them too late. it knocked my hard hat off and I fell flat on the cab roof of my jcb which we were going to lift out of a 70’ deep ventilation shaft I was digging. I was ok and we lifted it out safely. I just needed fresh underwear😂 David Liverpool UK.🇬🇧

If the hard hat had not been blocking his view. He would have seen the object moving out of the corner of his vision and would have moved. Avoiding this entire situation.

His back and shoulder still got the blow. If you slow it down.
