Interesting video, tsumie. Doesn't that go against Easton's claims that their S19 helmet can take more impact than any other helmet? Wonder if those testers are affiliated with Bauer or independent...

We have a thread somewhere discussing that exact video.

[DavidT 11]

Modanos rocking solid red Warrior GX9500 whatever gloves.

[IniNew 51]

I wonder where he's going to find red HT2's....

[number21 3]

Maybe Lidstrom has an extra red bucket.

[mickz 107]

Don't forget Chelios.

u mean this video?

not if this picture is any indication...

Looks like Lids has been doing some welding over the summer.

[A2rhino 62]

Keep seeing this new CCM stick. Is this a new CL?

A bit late to the show but I remember someone who had a couple pro stock CL's of his said they were actually Reebok sticks with CCM graphics.

[Scotty 8]

Mo looks ODD in red like that.

[bostonjuniorblackhawks 1]

would make sense, a close friend of toews' that i know told me that he had like 8 different curves on his warriors this year.

PSHG had eight or nine different toews sticks a few weeks ago

I really wish lidstrom would get with the times and scrap that goofy darth vader visor. For whatever reason that thing just bugs the crap outta me...

Get with the times and wear a visor that doesn't even help half the people who wear them, or protect your eyes.

I choose the latter.

Agreed. Some players wear things for the purpose they serve, not for the fashion.

Weird. Modano's probably gonna have to get used to this one too. Somewhere, Kariya is stacking on these helmets in various colors, just in case ahah

[Eastcoaster 0]

It was DarkStar50.

But I would've liked to see it in person, not a pic. I didn't even know it was at Summer Jam.

I live in Nova Scotia( home of Sid) the local sports store has 6 or so Crosby pro stocks, I think they are around 119 Can, Very short stick, almost no curve and yes a very strange lie.

[golee334 1]

too bad the puck enters at complete different angles in both tests. pucks on edge when it hits the s19

[maxamillion 3]

or he could do the old butch goring and just spray paint his helmets.

Even though the S19 split, didn't it look like it dissipated more of the blow than the 9900?

[bandits_5 18]

If the helmet breaks , the shock will disipate and spread with the broken pieces ( much the same as a race car and thus why a race car is designed to come apart in the case of a roll or crash). If it does'nt break , all the shock goes straight through to the foam AND your head. So, if im lookin solely for protection from a blow like the one in the video ( which im not ) ill get the s19. But there alot of other things to consider when buying a helmet . And those other things have a higher probability of happening , than a blow such as that.

We already went through this, but force = mass x acceleration and pressure = force / area, so if you get hit with the edge of the puck, the surface area is much smaller, therefore the pressure is much higher. That's why a pocket knife cuts while a butter knife does not. And I recall that the puck struck the vent which may have been a weaker area than a flat part of the helmet.

I think you're looking for momentum in place of force.

Force = Mass x Acceleration, and since a puck in flight is decelerating, it would have negative force.

Momentum (Mass x Speed) is exerted on the helmet by the puck.

You're at least theoretically correct with respect to the puck hitting on edge being a tougher impact on the helmet than a puck hitting flat. That's why bullets have a point, so the momentum is focused on the smallest amount of surface area when it impacts its target. In any case, if the helmet does its job, it will disburse the momentum of the impact over as much surface area as possible, so no single spot on the head receives the full momentum of the puck.

I think as a general rule, taking an impact like the ones in the video would merit replacing a helmet...

There's no need to rehash all this stuff about the S19 VS 9900 video.
