It doesn't matter how many disclaimers he signed, the labor courts will rule against the company for gross negligence if not direct violation when something bad happened. Seems like the hard hat crushed was not up to safety standards. While the main point of the hard hat isn't absolute protection against crushing force, but to glance off the falling object at an angle, it still should be flexible enough not to shatter on impact but instead should bounce away if the box was big and heavy

The labor courts haven't been doing anything until recently. That's worst than OSHA making appoinwmta to look at violations.
The hat both crushed, and cracked. If the definition says it can't shatter, it technically met the definition.
