Let's conclude that NOCSAE is a circus clowns act and get that out of the way, but acknowledge these facts. The NOCSAE standards were paid for via private research grants at universities. The underwriters of these grants and the subsequent testing initiatives were the brands. NOCSAE exists because industry wanted and funded this entity to have standards. This is a Cascade initially sponsored standard that they pushed and defended to maintain, but now they don't meet it because the helmet fit ranges did not test out to meet the NOCSAE certification. If you have not seen concrete information, then you have not read the impact testing studies done by three independent labs which failed the Cascade R and the Warrior Regulator. No brand including Cascade can or has made the argument the testing was not done by the NOCSAE guidelines.
If the lacrosse industry and parents want to rebuke and ignore NOCSAE, sign waivers and look away that is a possible outcome. Already is the 3d outcome. If clubs, NCAA and high school leagues want to rebuke and ignore NOCSAE standards or US Lacrosse rules, that too is a possible outcome. Already is the club play outcome for 3d and most large events which are private and not US Lacrosse sanctioned.
If anyone is waiting for further truths from NOCSAE, don't hold your breath. Their position is Cascade and Warrior are welcome to get back in line and submit product to be certified with design tweaks to the Rs and Regulators or a new design to pass or fail. There aren't further truths to be taken seriously by Cascade until or if they do just that. Make alterations to the helmets and resubmit for certification testing and pass it. |
