New protection device for hand fallers

[Hogdaddy]

I would get killed if I tried to wear that! As clumsy as I am, I'd be hanging that in everything, and then falling.

I think a little more armor on the front and they could create a new sport

Just like to say, I've had a small dry dead branch off an aspen, that was 50 feet up, the tree was 70 feet, hit a hard hat with enough force to give me a sore neck and my lower jaw reacted to the impact by slamming shut forcibly. Now think what that might do to an unprotected noggin. ;)

Fairly lucky here on my woods ground, I have next to nothing for undergrowth or hazels and such to snag stuff. I have mostly softwoods and a full canopy of fir doesn't let anything grow under it. Out in aspen pockets, which are few, I get shrubs, esp. hazels and also dogwoods. I'm changing the understory by thinning out the canopy, it's a long process. :D
