David,
Many (many many) years ago I was involved in testing of lenses for motorcycle
goggles. As I recall, the test was a 2 lb (1 kg) steel dart with a blunt point
dropped from 8 or 10 feet directly into the lens supported by the frame with a
foam face behind it. No part of the lens or dart could touch the face. I
distinctly recall thinking - NO WAY do I want to get hit that hard.
Looks like the test was pretty accurate.

. I encountered what I think was a sparrow at 110mph on I-25 north of
Denver. Nothing there
and then a speck, and then in less than the wink of an eye, BAM! Snaped my
head back, but nothing penetrated the shield
