Rawlings is about to introduce its newest batting helmet, the S100, a bulkier but far more protective helmet that can withstand the impact of a 100 m.p.h. fastball, according to Rawlings and an independent testing organization. Most other models, when hit flush by a ball, are compromised at speeds in excess of 70 m.p.h. The S100—so named because it can withstand the impact of a ball fired at 100 m.p.h. from 24 inches away — has a layer of expanded polypropylene, the hard, foamlike material used in bicycle helmets. The helmet also has a composite insert strip built into the frame that helps the helmet retain its protective oval shape upon impact. 2, record 2, English, - batter%26rsquo%3Bs%20helmet

Jacques Plante, a goaler for the hockey team "Le Canadien de Montréal", is the first hockey player to have worn a mask in the 1960's. The practice became popular to the point that now every goaler wears a complete "mask" while many offensive players wear a "face shield, guard or protector" attached to their helmet, hence the difficulty distinguishing among the different terms. The idea is now accepted by players in many sports : ice, field or roller hockey, short-track speed skating, ringette, etc. The protection worn by the receiver in baseball stands in the same category. 8, record 4, English, - face%20mask

Le masque protecteur a d'abord été porté par les gardiens de but au hockey sur glace puis par les joueurs d'avant et de défense, d'où le fait que les sources ne distinguent pas toujours entre le masque, protecteur facial porté par le gardien, et le masque, visière ou grille protectrice rattachée au casque que portent les autres joueurs de hockey. Le port du masque protecteur est devenu pratique courante dans de nombreux sports. 9, record 4, French, - masque
