Abstract
A protective headgear comprising a helmet and a face mask of flexible material secured to the helmet. When a force capable of causing injury to the headgear wearer is applied to the face mask, the mask deflects to a significant degree, without fracturing, with respect to the helmet. The deflection may take place entirely within the material of the face mask, or the deflection may in part take place within the attachments resiliently securing the face mask to the helmet. The intersecting bars forming the face mask have modified trapezoidal cross-sectional shapes in which each base of the trapezoid is a circular arc tangent to the sides of the trapezoid.
