Hitting your head

[Dave]

I hear people complaining about hitting their shin on a bumper pull trailer hitch sticking out on the back of a pickup. That is nothing compared to setting up the jack on a goose neck trailer and lift your head up too soon as you are walk out from under the goose neck. There is no comparison in the amount of pain.

Depends how fast ya stand up!!

Working on cars/trucks my whole life, and it becomes natural to get further out from under before getting up. And it still happens occasionally!
Usually when some twit comes along not minding his own business and generally being a pita.

Walking into the loader bale spear can hurt. Luckily had winter clothes on. I am pretty mindful now of where the tips are and set them high or on the ground if I need to get off the machine.

And I can be thinking "don't hit your head " and still do it.

Where and how I parked while unloading hay in the stack yard I had to go between the pick up and the trailer. Ducked under twice on every load. Never hit my head. Went to unhook the trailer...... bang that hurts.

It happens more often the less hair I have.

The very first 2nd thing I do after hitting my head is look around to see if anyone saw me do it.
(the 1st thing is to say some words my mama would not be proud of)

It's almost always my wife's fault...

I was loading up one of my big ice chests the other day and was one shoulder deep in it stacking drinks. The wind caught the lid and it caught me right on top of my head. It hurt bad. I had to step back and get my bearings for a minute.

Everyone is talking about hitting their head on the tounge of the gooseneck. You really need to try to come to with something rougher than the lid to the ice chest while arranging snacks.

I ran into a bale spear, split my face open and fractured my zygomatic orbital bone. 1" to the left I probably would have ruptured my eyeball.

I left out... to go fishing. It was like a 200qt, kodi,.... in my defense.

Yall know me... you get what you get.

Was doing wire fence all day. Couple hundred in, I got tired.
Post pounder hurts! Split my skull open. A lot of blood for a 2in gash!

Don't ever get in the way of a 900 pound bull when there is a steel framed door frame right behind you. It'll ring your chimes, I guarantee it.

I was chasing on a landing (that is the guy who unhooks the chokers). Equipment big enough that they yard and and load logs 6,7, 8 feet in diameter. I stood up and turned just in time to catch the counter balance of a huge Washington log loader which was turning on the forehead. Surprisingly there is not much give in that much solid iron.

Yes that hurts. I now make sure those tips are not pointing downward.

Pretty common injury. I know a guy that builds fence. He makes all his own post drivers around 3' long. Makes it hard to make that mistake.

I've hit my head as much as anyone but there's 3 times I'll never forget. The first 2 are pretty much the same. Hot and sweaty working on a batwing shredder with the wings up checking the blades on one side and walked around to the other side and hit my head on the pipe/axle that holds the wheel. First time I don't think it knocked me out but went I did go down and had a bad cut on my scalp. Years later did the same thing again. That time I just had to lay there awhile. Last summer I was loading a bull and it must have kicked the gate because I just remember thinking what the he'll just happened and going down. Put a bad cut above my eye. Bull made his vet appointment on time and my head bled on and off for 3 days.

The wife had her son weld extension on a post pounder so she could drive 10 foot posts for a deer fence around her garden. The pounder slipped off the top of a post and came down on her head. Her daughter was standing there and got to witness. Daughter said she was only out for a couple minutes.
