Back in 1968 I was working for Pacific Clay Products (World's largest manufacturer of Vitrified Clay Sewer Pipe) in Santa Fe Springs, CA . I was helping fabricate a new, 12 story tall Iso-Press Tower - (most sewer pipe is made by extruding wet clay, which then has to air-dry for a week, before it can be fired in the Kiln. The Iso-Press system would allow us to take DRY, granulated clay and put it in a mold and press it pneumatically, eliminating the drying stage, before it went to the Kiln.) . I was working on ground level, and someone up on the 8th level accidently kicked a 24 inch Crescent Wrench off the metal decking, striking me directly on top of my hard-hat. Impact knocked me out for a few seconds; checked my hard-hat and the wrench had put a 1 inch Deep by 4 inch Long crease diagonally across the top of my AlumaLite hard-hat. After being checked out at the local Hospital and returned to duty, the Company gave me a new AlumaLite hard-hat (which I still have) and took pictures of me holding the Wrench in the crease. The Wrench, my hard-hat, and the Photos were all put up on the SAFETY Bulletinboard in the Main Office (and are still there as far as I know) .
