| Due to the recent failure of a transparent mask made by one of our competitors the FIE have decided to suspend and forbid, until further notice the use of the transparent mask at foil and epee at all FIE official competitions. The FIE urgent letter and the conclusions of the laboratory are at http://www.fie.ch/Fencing/Letters.aspx
Statement from Leon Paul. This weekend following the receipt of a technical report regarding the failure of a Ulhmann transparent mask at the Junior European Championships the F.I.E. have temporarily suspended their use at its competitions for foil and epee. Leon Paul have reviewed all the technical evidence and the reports from the independent technical advisor who tested the mask that failed and two other independent experts. All of this confirms our continued belief that a mask that is made according to the FIE rules that incorporates in its design all of the features that are suggested in the FIE rules is perfectly safe provided it is used according to the manufacturer's instructions. We believe it is essential that the mask is: Made with a visor made from Lexan not a generic polycarbonate. Made with a drape formed rather than injection molded visor. Made in such a way that the visor when inserted is not stressed or bent out of its natural shape and or the fixing mechanism cannot be over tightened. . Made in such a way that there are no sharp edges in contact with the main visor. Made with a coated visor to help protect it. It is also essential that the visor has an outer layer to protect it from scratches. The use of an outer protective scratch layer is advised in the FIE rules and European standards rather than mandatory and we have said for a long time that it should be mandatory. We stand by our product and assure all of our customers that Leon Paul visor masks include all of the features noted above. Barry Paul M.D. Leon Paul |

Estuvimos ayer comentando el asunto Barry y yo. Sin duda las caretas transparentes Paul son las mas seguras y fiables de todas. De hecho en todas los controles de material que he efectuado solo las caretas Allstar, PBT y Negrini han tenido problemas y no así las Paul. Lo que pasa es que a la vista del informe que se ha remitido la FIE se están reexaminando todos los protocolos de revisión de las caretas y por prudencia se ha decidido que no se usen estas caretas. La Fie está formando una comisión de expertos (en la que me han pedido que esté) para revisar los protocolos de revisión y las normas de seguridad. Pero como siempre os hemos informado desde la RFEE el problema de las caretas transparentes es EL MANTENIMIENTO. |

es que es lo que yo siempre digo, a quién se le ocurre dejar algo tan delicado en manos de la gente de a pie que no tiene ni conocimientos ni ha recibido una formación suficiente. se que el ejemplo es un poco burro, pero a ver, las armas de fuego son seguras si se usan con responsabilidad y sin embargo no se dejan en manos de niños ni de gente que no las sabe usar, pues esto lo mismo. yo aquí creo que el defecto es de base |
