Abstract
A shock attenuation tension mounting for connecting a face guard to a helmet wherein a pair of looped straps are provided on each side of the helmet. Each pair of looped straps includes an inner relatively stretchable looped strap enclosing a wire segment of the face guard, and an outer, relatively stiff looped strap enclosing the inner loop. The inner looped strap allows controlled movement of the face guard toward the helmet with increasing resistance force for shock attenuation, and the outer strap limits the movement of the face guard toward the helmet, the amount of movement being controlled by the selection of relative loop lengths of the outer and inner straps.
