I hit my head on this in the attic today, long story short… I noticed it as a hazard, forgot about it coming back out from that area… hit my head hard on it. Fortunately I had a bump cap on (I thank another member for turning me on to bump caps ). As soon as I hit it, I thought “WOW, am I glad I have head protection”. It would no doubt have been the end of the inspection and a trip to the ER and a bloody mess to clean up without head protection. Just want to make sure everyone keeps safety first! Happy and safe inspecting!
Good reminder and glad you’re good, Dave!
Thanks Nick!
Glad you are ok. I always at least wear a ball cap. Not nearly as good as a bump hat but doe offer “some” protection.

I agree but it is better than nothing and stops the small scratches and stuff from light contact with nails and such. When I see one of the nachi bump caps in person I will try to see how it feels but I have to imagine it would be very hot in S Florida.
I have to wear baseball style caps backwards in an attic. I don’t know how many times I have walked into low lying rafters due to not seeing what’s above my eyebrows. These bump caps have a big hole in the back…
