Dormant hero!!
Heck, may have saved a crew members life
I wear a helmet, unless I'm spreading manure.
Might be a good idea to wear it then too.
I've had a lot of stuff come flying out of the manure spreader at me over the years. If you're cleaning up off of dirt, you will get rocks big enough to kill you shot out of the spreader now and then.
They sent me a copy of all the fines they sent the company...it was crappy to read. $125 for not having a daily safety briefing, $250 for no chainsaw lanyard, $500 for not coning the sidewalk....they got hit hard. And every staffer without a saw lanyard was another offense/fine.
It was a good reminder for me to keep my worksites clean.
I've had a kick back cut my screen and take a nick out of the hardhat.
Justin that reminds me of the old skidder operator I used to fall for when I was a young cocky greenhorn. When I wore my hardhat backwards with the screen up front he said between spits of chewing tobacco, " you realize that hardhat brim behind your head could be enough to stop that chain from nailing you between the eyes".I've had a kick back cut my screen and take a nick out of the hardhat.
I have scrawny looking biceps but I can toss big rounds all the way to the front of the dump bed while young guys with huge guns can't make it half way. Power is better than muscle mass.It is kinda funny how 2 people can be about the same, physical activity wise, but one will develop more muscle mass. Genetics, I would think. My step son works his ass off, but still has scrawny looking biceps.
