Mask did its job.

[@jostergaming7865]

Yes it kept him injury free, but that shouldn't happen it should be able to take hits

[@jackjon7763]

JosterGaming could be an old mask. Maybe it was already somewhat damaged and that hit was the one that broke it. Or maybe there is a flaw in the mask that if hit just right it explodes. And yeah it did do its job of protecting him and yes extremely unexpected

[@itsblack2321]

I don't think it should. I feel like it's like a helmet--only made to work once.

[@EthansTv]

JosterGaming it probably has taken alot lol

[@ryanpiboi]

It would have actually decreased the impact force by exploding, thus doing a better job of protecting the catcher.

[@matt61387]

That is exactly how proper safety gear is supposed to be designed. The force is dissipated breaking what doesn't matter(the plastic shell) to protect what does(his head). It's the exact same concept as crumple zones in a car, the frame crumples and deforms around the cabin dissipating the force and protecting those inside.

[@whatrthekidsinto8011]

So u wanna be a catcher...

[@howardbaxter2514]

What R The Kids Into? Catchers and hockey/lacrosse goalies are insane. It takes some big balls to step in the cage, in front of the net, or catch a pitch.

[@johnjacob4973]

howard baxter catching is the best

[@Timboslice475]

It's probably better that it broke the way it did. I'm no scientist but I remember reading about an example of a pottery pot landing on some guys head: in one picture, the pot breaks, in the other, it doesn't. It goes on to say that since pot broke in the one picture it did less damage to guys head than if it just landed solidly on his head without breaking.

[@justinbeamon6624]

Oh so that's why they wear those.

[@chuckadams4400]

back and to the left. ...

[@firebirdude2]

Only those 30+ years old will even get that. LOL

[@trevinohorrorandstrength9228]

yes!!!!!!

[@drodriguez3293]

Lmao then the batter proceeds to hit a line drive

[@boneshow00]

damn that guy has a nice swing

[@DavidStep98]

Old school. Lol. That is exactly the set up I used in the 80's. I'm old.

[@DursunX]

projectile ball + helmet + skull... and only the helmet broke 😨

[@kyyowa129]

2 piece wouldn't protect from that.

[@john20pb]

Yes it would... The 2 piece one he put on would have taken that ball off of the metal plate at the top because it sticks up higher.

[@braydenmcclary8580]

Kyle Walker Two piece helmets offer much more protection in the front, but not as much around the sides.

[@SquidWithGear]

Kyle Walker it absolutely would

[@drodriguez3293]

"You've never seen tha-"
"NO."

[@keithwood390]

That's why I never use Easton gear

[@kylejose6099]

Keith Wood easton isn't that bad

[@hughm-c2478]

Keith Wood IKR

[@shosin2919]

Well is he hurt?

[@imfromtheville]

I saw the TCU uniform in the thumbnail, couldn't tell exactly who it was but I knew it had to be this guy. Just because...

[@joshjhutton]

Good to see our college athletes have the best equipment.

[@MusicHead480]

good thing this ain't 1870

[@CarsonClaws]

Damn son

[@LOSTMUNK3Y]

i say it's a product of cost efficiency, the inside is what protects so make the outside out of cheaper meterial and less craftsmanship to lower the cost. It's saved him from serious injury so play-on

[@lennon.richards]

This is why you don't use Easton gear. Literally the only masks I would trust is All-Star

[@beckettm8002]

Mask did its job with perfection

[@SurviventheOnslaught]

blue ball park

[@ilyazhitomirskiy9218]

And still NFHS requires the hockey mask, because traditional mask and helmets are not tested together to NOCSAE standards. They should take a long, hard look at this video and allow traditional masks. No wonder why this crowd was cheering when the catcher came back.
Plays like this is why I wear and old-school mask with a throat protector for catching and umpiring.

[@George50809]

I could not tell that the mask exploded.

[@JoseCervantes-mm8en]

As soon as i saw that thing burst into pieces I was all like HOLYYYY SHIIIIITTTT

[@Chiefskeet]

Owch

[@DENMONKEY]

Oh no, the paint chipped off.

[@COD4GOD123]

Riff ram

[@tylerhensley2312]

that sounds like the manufacturer needs to test their equipment better before putting them on the market.

[@roygbiv3305]

product liability.

[@escapeplan5460]

it was a Walmart mask

[@Jake-rc4ws]

Bruh. A few pieces got knocked off, and your saying it exploded? Like exploded like a middle? Also if he isn't dead or has brain damage the mask did its job

[@thomas_delaney]

Mask off

[@SnaresAndNets]

another example why they need to eliminate metal bats from the college game

[@elsey6885]

i hate luken baker
