A somewhat similar thing happened to me back in 1968. Fortunately, I was wearing a Hard Hat.
I worked in the Research & Development Department of Pacific Clay Products in Santa Fe Springs, Calif. (worlds largest manufacturer of vitrified clay sewer pipe). I was working on the ground level of our experimental Iso-Press Tower which would pneumatically press dry clay granules into sewer pipe (instead of wet clay extrusion), when a co-worker up on the 5th Level (about 90 feet above me) accidently kicked a 12 inch Crescent Wrench off the platform. The wrench hit on edge directly across the top of my Aluma-Lite Hard Hat, leaving a 1 1/2 inch deep crease in my hard hat and knocking me unconscious. Fortunately this was witnessed by a Supervisor and several other workers. When I awoke, I was in a Hospital being checked for injuries. They said I had a "moderate concussion", got 4 days off and a week of "light duty".
For several years after, they had my hard hat & the wrench on display in the Front Office along with a photograph of me wearing the hard hat and holding the wrench in the crease.
Thanks to my hard hat, I'm just lucky to be alive.
