  It doesn’t have to be safe … it just has to ‘look’ safe

    Yeah, some people with clipboards and orange vests came by, and they said it’s fine.

      They were killed later that day from a falling I-beam that was unsecured

        that would kill you anyway…

  Is it because the strength of the arch is diminished by the crease? Or because it could channel a falling sharp object into rather than away from one’s skull?

    That was my first thought. The only way this could be somewhat safe is if the hat aesthetic was a facade and would crumple at the slightest pressure, and underneath the facade was an actual hard hat.

      I agree, but I fear that would require a comically large exterior. Ten gallons, as it were.
