  3. Worked for Georgia Power many years ago.A guy walked under a pole where the top 6' had been sawed off and dropped. Hit him on his hard hat and broke both his ankles. He'd been told to stay away from there.

  4. When I was working in steel mills ( not as a mill employee ), I always kept one eye on what was overhead and made sure I was not under anything going by. That video shows that I was smart to do so.

    Thanks for the post.

    1. I was a lineman and a Seabee-- Both places always stressed that you don't get under a load.

  7. That's a lot of hurt falling, as an iron worker since '82......Hard hats are more hazardous than protection, they're a big joke.

  8. The hat isn't to save your life.... it's to make it easier to ID the corpse..
