Answer This Question
A:Â I have been using the bump caps for the last five years. I use it personally and all of my staff use them. I am a big fan of the product and I recommend them often. They help us in two ways. The bump hats limit lacerations of our skin when working very close to sharp edges, sheet metal, and tips of screws or nails. It is evident by the small tares in the material on our caps. The second way they help is limiting blunt trauma. We work in a lot of confined or low clearance spaces in and around pipes, beams, and duct work. When we do have a collision the bump cap spreads the impact around and lessons greatly the force of the blow.
I think you are correct in that this product may be a benefit to you especially if you are falling forward or backward and are at risk of striking something on the way down. It won't stop all of the force of the collision but it will reduce it. However this is only an insert and will only be effective if the hat you choose is capable of remaining on your head through the fall. It is not as effective as a helmet would be and has no chin strap to ensure that it stays in place.
A:Â As per the description, it does not meet ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 requirements, meaning that it is meant for low impact areas not requiring a hard hat. In most cases, this means that it is not impact tested or rated. If you work in an area requiring some sort of head protection, I would recommend getting an actual hard hat. This is meant more for tight spaces where you might bump your head against a wall or beam, and will not protect against falling equipment, or a blow from running machinery.

safety is paramount
I have an extra large head and it fits great inside my favorite ball cap. Haven't had an accident since buying it and am not planning on one soon. Please carry stock in all stores.

Cheap Protection
This is not a hard hat. It will save you some nasty bumps and cuts when working around pipes, ductwork, and inside ceilings and other low clearance areas. The vent hole match up with those on your ball cap. As long as you aren't working in direct sun all day it isn't much warmer then the cap alone. Most of the feedback from my crew has been positive. I have been wearing mine for about a month now.
