That's a bad angle. He swings it too low to make contact with his face
Incognito tries to push Smith's head off his shoulders with a hand to the face and Smith loses his cool and tries to pull him to the ground by his helmet. He pulls his helmet off in the process and swings it back at him. One could even argue that he tried to stop himself. If he wanted to swing higher and go for his head he easily could have. Either way, it was a dumb move by Smith to overreact so badly. He knows what to expect when facing Incognito. These two already have history.
All in all, no one is going to play the sympathy card with Incognito. He's one of the biggest pieces of in the league. No one out there deserves a career ending injury more than he does.

Incognito is the dirtiest player in football and has been for some time. Seriously, if the camera focused on him every play for the past 5 years you'd think James Harrison was a choirboy
