This hands on demonstration, truly shows the impact and importance of using our engineering controls to mitigate the possibility of dropped objects (Lanyard Use), with an understanding that PPE is our "Last Line" of defense.
Great demonstration of the forces generated from even the smallest of objects and this test was only 30'. On some sites, 100' or more is not uncommon and I think after watching this video, we all know what the result of a 100' drop would be. Thanks for sharing this. I will add it to my PPE training and compliment my list of the testing methods a hardhat goes through to meet ANSI standards. Both show the real reason hardhats are worn, but like anything they have their limits.
Great video... But if you’re working in a pipe rack or under a structure, what falls straight down? Normally objects are deflected by pipe or other objects.
Force should be stated over an area. Without that, it's like a rookie trying to impress you with numbers. I mean come on, Air alone puts over 2000 pounds of pressure on a single square foot. (14.7# per Sq. Inch x 144)
Shouldn't there be a swing gate installed to access the inside of that scaffold barricade?? Y'all on me everyday over earplugs but look at y'all actively going through the handrails. Lmaoooo, y'all gonna retaliate and lay me off now:(
If you put the watermelon against a hard surface and then head butted it, what do you think would break: the watermelon or your skull? (A: the watermelon) So no, our skull isn't as thick, but it's a _lot_ stronger, and this test goes a long way to showing the effects of drop hazards and how they can be mitigated with use of correct PPE.

A very good live demo for showing the impact of the tools used in height when get dropped.Congratulations to the team who made it
Falls on object and its effect explanations has done by B&V , such a great presentations ! Very good and useful . Thanks to B&V team .

This video drives across a very important message. Great work B&V!
+adrian gerard Saldanha Thank You! We were hoping people would get the positive message out of it.
Great job, gets the important points across. Thanks for sharing 1
+Bill Hagstotz Thank You! Feel free to share this video and use it for awareness training.
great video, was this a type 1 or type 2 hard hat?
Great experiment and great video. Is there a version available in Spanish?
This is such a great video, thanks B&V
+Matt Paulk Thank you!

Well done.
+DecommMan Thank You!
nice video, hope the "sledging" you gave that watermelon was intentional :-)
Where penny?

Hehe no one got this but I got this

"Now there's your incident, Mate".
I do not think our skull is as thick as the watermelon skin. Irrelevant experience object used.

So no, our skull isn't as thick, but it's a _lot_ stronger, and this test goes a long way to showing the effects of drop hazards and how they can be mitigated with use of correct PPE.
Shannon Gomez bone is more dense than watermelon rind.
