My father wore the same model as in the link below, a blue one, almost like a metallic blue. Fiber Metal brand.
I realize they banned these eventually because they conduct electricity. It's hard to believe the modern hard hats would not fracture or fail in the same situation as you told us about.
Personally, I wear the same brand, Fiber-Metal, I like their products and the hat, does fit well, set the inner suspension system to fit correctly, really hard to have the hat fall off if you are in an awkward position, they have a lot of height to them, so maybe not for all situations.
A lot of big companies seem to use one particular brand, put their logo on it etc., regardless, I'd order my own, in a Fiber Metal model, and have the logo put on, that's how much I like the brand. Turner Construction uses a commonly seen model with a V molded into the hat, a little lower profile, you'll see every employee with the same brand hat.
Sounds like you were extremely fortunate, unlike the person in this story, likely no hat would have prevented it if the tape measure bounced and changed directions hitting him from the side.
