Has anyone else read 'The Totem Pole' by Paul Pritchard? Good example of some serious head injuries from rock fall. Although he did raise a good point (that someone else brought up here somewhere) that if he had been wearing a helmet, his brain might have been saved, but the impact would have just tranfered to his neck (and this was a microwave size block from memory). Brain damage or spinal damage . . . Goes to show that helmets can be good, but aren't the be all and end all of safety and it's just another consideration to keep in mind (this isn't supposed to be hanging crap on helmets/their wearers by any means).
