I'm not sure mine would've fit into that category. It hit at a spot where I don't think the mask would've spun off, but I'm not completely certain, of course.

I did order a new mask last week, so maybe this was just a twist of fate

I still think helmets will dominate the game 10-20 years from now. They certainly did take over the catcher's market pretty quickly.
