When I had a FW I used a traffic cone strapped it upside down with bungees so the grandkids did not whack there heads.

Use a couple of strips of ribbon, clothes pin them to the hitch so they hang down a foot so you can see them even when bent over moving around under there.

Sorry your injury from the pinbox was so bad. I have long hair, so it stopped bleeding quicker. It still hurts and there is still a lump.
I like your idea to pad it. It seems; I go under there quite often, so protection seems like a better idea instead of flagging it or putting another obstacle there.
For those with smart as--- remarks; I hope you don't have bad karma and wack your head. KENBackpacker and tent camper all my life, including BSA as a kid and adult.

Also, get a hard hat. DW makes me wear one when we set up. Down side is, folks don't know me without a band aid on my poor 'ol completely bald head.

I still have my hard hat from my logging days.
I remember conking my head (with the hard hat on) on the counter-weight of the loader (5 tons) years ago. It put me to the ground with stars.
It's a good idea, but I know I would forget to put it on and bump my head again. KENBackpacker and tent camper all my life, including BSA as a kid and adult.

I have seen foam covers for the end of the 5er hitch, which also covers the king pin also. They were at a RV dealer, and they had their name stamped on them. I think they were about $60.00. I will see if I can find a link to them, and post it.
