I'm glad to hear you are OK, it always shakes you up when something like that happens. It never fails to amaze me how many people you see using strimmers with out eye or ear protection let alone a helmet.
Is your visor a mesh or solid perspex one?
It was perspex... and it worked
that's me, i don't usually wear anything, sometimes some glasses if i have my sunglasses with me.
What do you recommend I should wear?
Glad you're alright!
With a big strimmer I would definitely change that .. given today's experience
The interests of strimming long grass! I got hit in the chest (on the buckle of my harness) by a piece of glass end of last year. Certainly a surprise when you hear the noise and feel the thump.
I never use the blades as I worry about this kind of thing happening!
If cutting tough stuff I put the jet fit on with some really thick line 4-7mm depending on what it is. At least line breaks stopping (well hopefully) this kind of this happening.
glad you are ok and it did its job, now you need to buy a new helmet or at least a new visor after it has received a large impact also hard hats have a sell by date (cannot remember as to what age they need replacing )
Yes Ben. I'm switching from visor to perspex the next time I visit my supplier. It is amazing how many things find their way through a visor. The other day I was hit in the eye through it, nothing serious but a warning nonetheless.
