I GUESS OSHA IS DEMANDING HELMETS NOW.
OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS.

MUST BE FUN ON 100 DEGREE DAYS!

TO ANONYMOUS;

You obviously have NEVER put up a Big Top in 100 degree weather.

I have, as recently as August, three summers ago. My 210 X 120 feet tent.

The temperature hit 106 degrees.

Neither I, nor any of the 16 men working with me wore helmets. And, thanks be to God, nobody got a "sore head".

Prior to that, in the 11 years that we put the tent up and down, without helmets, we were blessed and NOBODY ever got a "sore head".

The concept of helmets is relatively new, and is better than a fractured skull.
But, I repeat, NO FUN ON "100 DEGREE DAYS".

I am not 100% sure if it was insurance related or not, but we had to wear hard hats on Circus Kirk in the 1970's.

Bob, I heard it came from an OSHA visit the year before. The 'foreman' had to wear a white hat to be identifiable, the rest blue. I think Dave Fulton got to wear the white one.
