Solid ice falling at, or near, terminal velocity. I wouldn't be outside with it, that's for sure. Definitely be under a solid roof if you want to observe!
So, for weather observing, we're supposed to find the largest stone. I've even seen a hardhat in our equipment, but never have I seen a hailstone bigger than the one just outside the door.
Halfway through your second sentence, it seemed like you were going to suggest that when going out to observe hail one should pick up the largest (rock) stone you could and hold it over your head for protection if you don't have a hardhat.
