I was lucky

[Ian Clarke]

title says it all

detail working on a london plain i was on the ground the log bounced off a spar and hit me square on the head. the helmet took all the impact. i have no injuries but makes you think.

 

note to all: WEAR HELMETS they really do save lives

[WoodED]

seemed to have served its purpose.. now a write up in ur accident book as a near miss

[Tom D]

No neck injuries / strain?

 

must have been quite a bang to crack the helmet..

Wow! What kind of helmet was it? Manufacturer may be interested in it for analysis.

 

Now you have the great opportunity to get a Protos.

What I thought, especially as it appears to have broken at the vents (weak point)

 

No doubt the manufacturers would like to see the images and get some info.

 

Glad you walked away from that one fella.

its a petzl alveo vent * the one with the husky logo on the back. it was a direct top impact on the back right corner the first photo should show that better. and the ploystyrene inside did the job v well *2nd photo you should be able to see a crack. and to wood ed it was filled out with in a hour. it is a climbing helmet

Horrible that it happened but nice to see that the gear we spend of money on really does work.
