All masks have throat protection built in, to a certain degree. If you keep your chest protector up and your head steady, I don't see a need for the dangler.

No I am talking about a generic throat guard. Throat guards are already required for catchers, and I don't see any of them wearing dangling throat guards. I don't understand why there is such a fuss for the NFHS requiring a umpire to have some sort of protection between his chin and the top of his chest protector.
