Or a Pembridge or Klappavisor.

I was very surprised by this. As with any high risk hobby like say rock climbing or hang glidding, theres always a bit more danger ( like driving a car isn't ) but we take extra precautions, which work 99% of the time so we become accustomed, to things going okay, like driving until you have a wreck, but when theres a mishap, because we take extra steps ( like a synthetic waster ) its always a bit surprising because they work fine most all the time. We forget that theres still inherent risk because our extra safety steps normally alieveiate that.
Sir Edward:
This is part of the reason I was still pushing for modern safety gear for our renfaire longsword demo. I think we need to make sure we always use some for of perf-plate, even if it's welded inside the occularia of a period helm.
SirNathanQ:
Wow, a Rawlings? :o
That guy's occularums were enourmous tough. I would go for the perf mesh inside a period helm idea.
Sir Wolf:
but the thing is guys fight in open faced helmets all the time with steel even. i wanna know what kinda thrust did that. seems excessive to me.
