No one has really said why... if you wear it tight, then ALL of the energy of the ball is transferred to your face. Can cause concussions. If it's loose, then all of the energy of the ball is transferred into the motion of the mask. Same reasons they WANT cars to spin, roll, or fly apart when Nascar has a crash - dispersal of energy. We all saw what happened to 3 when his car did nothing but stop.
