Hi viz Ground Helmet???

[Mozza]

Cheers Rupe.

 

Ill not be getting the Stein ground helmet as it has the same padding as the climber and thats my problem with that helmet.

 

I think, As you have just said, Im going to go back the old skool and get a husky or equivalent ground helmet.

Having just left my hubi in hosp last night, I think you should go for the brightest hi viz you can. He was in wrong place wrong time got hit by clog coming from 15feet on back of his shoulder which knocked his helmet off, knocked him to the ground, and was knocked out for a second, he has concussion. The climber did see him at the last second but had let the clog go. A helmet with a chin strap would have avoided him being knocked out. What is a little heat to all the worry you give everyone when you land in hospital.

Sorry to hear that, I hope hes ok and makes a full recovery.

Sounds nasty, but it could have been a lot worse!

 

Hope he gets better soon!

Been using this for a few weeks now and I find it is a bit too warm for climbing in. Good comfy helmet but after climbing with a Petzl for 3 years then changing to this I think I will use this for planking and as a spare once I get enough money together to buy a new petzl vent.

I clipped my hair pretty short which helped with the airflow though, so if your balding or on the way it could be a good option!

Like the colour of this one though, typical climbing magpie!!

Thanks Mozza, he is home now and sleeping, he said it is a spinal concussion which has a quicker recovery than a head concussion

Glad to hear he is pulling through alright.
