wow, this is pretty simple yet effective, I don’t know if I’d call it safer, but he probably gets better control than a little giant style hammer.

I thought of doing something similar. This would be easier on the elbows!

Hmm. Pneumatic autohammer. I dig it. I could get behind helping with that project if you'd like. :D
I definitely wouldn't call it "safe", but...

Who said those are opposites?  I'd say they generally go hand-in-hand frequently. :)

I've seen ones with rotary shaft electric motors for fast short hammering motion. How It's Made is awesome, and it was the tool used by the armorsmith in the medieval armor reproduction. No cage, no sensors.

As for safe... safe is the operator's job when it comes to working an anvil, be it by hand or with a machine, you're still dealing with a ~20 lb. hunk of metal hitting a much larger hunk of metal with another hunk somewhere between. Though I would advise a safety zone where only the operator can enter and proper training, it's still going to have risks, they can only really be reduced by being aware of your environment when on it. Same can be said for a lot of shop hardware though.

I have projects I'd want to use that for and do agree that AWESOME is the correct description for that.

I realized I forgot the video:

For reference.

Looks like that armorer's hammer is a cylindrical hammer head, bow of some spring steel, and a reciprocating drive.
