if you hit someone in the leg with both mallets (Aidan's and this one), an edge would make contact first, whereas on conventional mallets with a 90 degree, straight cut head the whole piece of pipe would come into contact at once. leaving the often seen circular bruise, instead of a cut.
i'm making the point to illustrate why I think the mallet on this page is safe, not why Aidan's is unsafe.
