That's not an explanation for what happened though. I want to know the results of the finding. Was it just an already damaged helmet or did the top edge expose a flaw which was previously untested?
Disclaimer: This is not an Ayrtek explanation, and is purely anecdotalIf you look at one of the other pages in this topic, we discovered that on certain settings of the grille, the gap is such that the ball can fit through between the peak and the grille relatively easily (i.e. you can push it through by hand). Looking at the settings that Broad was using (in the pictures of the event), it looks like this is what happened. This also is the widest gap in terms of vision, that the Ayrtek settings allow. You can see the result in the first picture below, and also an indication of another setting where we found the gap large enough for the ball to pass through in the second picture.
