  • Video: "How to swing a sledgehammer safely / Hard Hat Jane / PPE" by HardHatJane (6:37m). Fast forward to about 3:30m for the demo, from the beginning if you want the preliminaries! She and her compatriot cover over the head strikes and sideways strikes. Thank you HardHatJane!
  • Video: "How to Swing a Sledgehammer!" by Creating Alpha (3:22m). Almost passed on this just because this fellow seems to have an 'alpha' insecurity (cringe), but he does a nice job of showing how to swing with good form.
