I had the same thought! As it was dropping in slow-mo, I was like "That's gotta be one big ass chain". When I thought about it afterwords, I discovered quite quickly that it was falling in slow motion!

I too was hoping for something being protected, like a melon, by a helmet as it fell. I was ready to forward the video to people that don't like to wear helmets.

Thats why I wear a full faceWertornion said:Wearing a helmet is for weaklings. With a bike helmet on your face can still be smashed. So IMO it is of no use. Being Dutch can be a point in this opinion...
