Climbing Helmet Saved The Day

[Darrin Turnbull]

After 22 years wearing these helmets , today was the first time it saved me from serious injury.

I was pulling on a rope when suddenly something give way sending me backwards smacking my head of the pavement .

I even wear a helmet for cycling having lost a friend due to a cycling accident.

Stay safe and use your Protective clothing.

Looks like a sore one darrin,glad your ok.

I have to say im very guilty of not wearing my lid in tree on the hotter days-which up here in scotland arent that common.

Wearing a lid at all times whilst on Site is Vital..Do you have to discard the helmet?

I tried to get in my truck today, wasn't feeling fully switched on tbh.

 

There were some low hanging branches from the tree I was next to so I stooped my head. As I opens the door as you do with usual force I swung the corner point straight into my forehead.

 

If I hadn't been wearing a beenie I reckon claret would have been everywhere.

 

I wish I had my helmet on then. It bloody hurts now.

Pleased your alright mate. It's one thing I get really pissed off about when people don't wear lids on site. It's so easy to have a simple accident like you did and a lid is the difference between a serious injury or going home safe.

Looks a fair knock there even wearing a lid, I would consider replacing the helmet.
