I did read the post. But as my post said:
"I could not imagine what would happen if it hit him on the head."
"Could not imagine...if" Were the key words.
Nothing can protect from all scenarios. If so tower climbers would be
going
up in full body suits with Kevlar. Would look like space men on the tower.

If you read the post, the wrench hit the ladder and then bounced into
his face. Even if he had a hard hat on (which I am guessing he did), it
does not protect your face.

I
have other opinions but OSHA might not like them so I will leave it at
that.
Glad your guy is okay.

Hi Folks,
We had what turned out to be a minor tower accident involving one of our
tower climbers.
It appears that he had attached a wrench to the wrong carabiner on
another
climbers harness. When climber #2 detached the carabiner, the wrench
fell
without his knowledge. Climber #2 was up to 50' above Climber #1 at
this
time. The wrench appears to have hit the ladder directly in front of
Climber #1's face and entered end-first into his mouth. This chipped a
couple of his front teeth, cracked one of his wisdom teeth, and tore a
quarter-sized hole in the soft pallet near the rear of his mouth. The
tear
required six stitches.
Needless to say, we are quite grateful for the outcome.
This incident underscores the extreme risk that our climbers operate
under.
It also illustrates how a very simple error can have potentially
devastating
consequences. His injuries, although quite painful, were not life
threatening. It could easily have been otherwise. Had the wrench hit
his
temple, forehead, or eye socket, it could have resulted in blindness or
even
death.
Our hats go off to all of the brave guys who operate in this environment.
May God bless you all.
