I had the exact thing happen. I have a 28 ton Wolfe Ridge splitter and was splitting a gnarly oak log. I wear a full loggers helmet with hearing protection and a full screened face shield. I heard a sound like a gunshot and felt my helmet jammed back on my head. The face shield had been bent in almost touching my nose. The impact spot was just below my left eye. I found a 16" splinter of oak about 3" across and about 1" thick on the ground next to me. I don't even want to think what that would have done to me without the helmet.
