Hardhat made from foam block tied to head (update)
The foam pillow tied to this man's head keeps him safe from falling objects at a construction site in India. Dan says: "10 to 1 it's just a pad for head-loading. One of the guys in the background has something similar. In India most carrying of heavy loads is done by getting someone to help boost it on to your head. It's much more energy efficient, although it may be hard on your back." Link
