    I had a very good friend of mine call me today and tell me about his daughters helmet. seems that this helmet has the problem of the screws vibrating and unthreading to the point of mask failure. his daughter had a slight concussion because of a foul ball hitting her mask which moved due to screw failure which caused ball contact to the face.

    so.......on a regular basis, please check the integrity of your daughters equipment, checking all screws for tightness, broken clasps, mask failures and fractures and replace all faulty equipment asap so that your daughter doesnt have to go through what Mark Armstrong's lovely daughter went through.....

    thanks to Mark for the heads up

    Also a note to add, alot/most of the mask comes with the standard plastic clip(s). These things are useless and seem to break or crack with any kind of contact. RawlingsGear.com offers the metal clips-much better product.
