Pie are round, cornbread are square................doesn't fly with me

Or did you find a radical new way to split the atom?

That sounds rude.

As it happens I used to teach physics so if you want an explanation, I could come up with one for you.

But if your purpose for your question and your response is to be rude and obnoxious, I won't.

So you're saying, there is no right or wrong answer.

A mathmatical equation will produce the same answer each time, depending on the numbers plugged in.

So an object weighing X amount traveling at Y speed will produce a different answer for Z in this case. Kinda like that old question, "If a pound of ball bearings weighs as much as pound of feathers, which will hit the ground first?"

Gotta go saddle up my horse and ride fences now.

Assuming there's no air resistance, they will hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height above the ground. (Physics is a wonderful thing).

The reason you want the mask to pop off when struck by a baseball can be explained quite simply: Any amount energy required to pop the mask off of your head is that much less energy that is absorbed by your face/skull/brain. Less energy absorbed by the face/skull/brain = less chance of concussion.

1) Where do you work ball where there is no air resistance?

2) I would also think a glancing blow < of a chance of a concussion.

3) With all the variables, I don't think you can say there is a concise science to determine when or when not a concussion will happen.

2) correct, but not relevant. A glancing blow with a loose mask will lessen the impact when compared with a glancing blow with a tight mask.

3) no one is saying that. Just that the chances of a concussion are reduced.

No, she kind of said the opposite of that.

Sure... given identical input. We're talking about comparing two different situations though, aren't we? How much energy is absorbed by the head if the mask is tight ... and how much if the mask is loose. Two different sets of inputs to the "equation". The answer is - the energy goes SOMEWHERE... it's a zero sum game. If the energy does NOT go to spinning, moving, flipping off, whatever - the mask - there's only one other place for it to go.

Wow... that was unnecessary. Put it this way. If a fact doesn't "fly with you", consider it may be the receiver and not the deliverer.
