When I worked in a sawmill I got into the habit of wearing my hardhat in a hurry. Moving around in the maze of steel I-beams meant smacking your head a lot.My first full-time summer job was as an engineering techician at a mine. I didn't like wearing a hard hat, but I did it. One day I was doing some work in one of the surface plants, turned a corner, and smacked my head so hard on a pipe, I was flat on my back before I knew what had happened.
Didn't hurt a bit, though. In fact, I couldn't get up for a couple minutes because I was laughing so hard. Never complained about hard hats again.

Let that be a lesson for you: Always wear your hardhat.

Someone using a chipping gun inside a ship is about as loud and noisy as you can get.
Even if you have ear plugs it’s still loud. Without ear plugs it’s like you have your head in a bell and someone is hitting it with a hammer about 60-100 times per minute.
He just wanted to stop the noise.

Anderson was not wearing a hard hat, but had one in his truck at the time,
Didn’t do him much good there.

Yeah, I probably put too much moisturizer on my hands when up there dropping wrenches.
