The photos and subsequent information indicates this is a western style
construction hardhat - OSHA design, not ASTM for riding. The fallen rider
could have some interesting injuries if the edge of the solid brim hits the
ground and jams the head and neck in the opposite direction, particularly if
securely attached with a chin strap.

Is this a construction hard hat made to protect you from falling objects
or a riding helmet made to protect a rides head from a fall. These are
not interchangeable. I had a similar discussion about bicycle vs.
riding helmets for 4-Hers.
