From the Minutes of the June 2005 SEMI Commission Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------
2. Transparent mask
The mask with transparent visor can be used at foil, epee and sabre. But if the mask becomes totally transparent, it will be appropriate at foil but no longer at epee, because of its slippery surface. If sole the visor is transparent, there is no problem neither at foil nor at epee.
The SEMI decides to notify in writing all the manufacturers that all the masks must be sold together with a certificate of cloth of 1600 newton.
3. Refereeing video system
The use of the video to help the refereeing is a priority for the IOC and the FIE. The SEMI tested at the CIP in Paris, at Senior Men’s Foil (21-23 January 2005) and at the Tokyo Grand Prix at Senior Women’s Foil and Men’s Foil (11-13 March 2005) a professional system of Sony, which includes a camera, a monitor, a hard disk engraver ? and a controller enabling slow motion. This system offers the possibility to view the passed action at any requested speed while the on-going actions keep to be recorded.
In fencing, tests carried out with the video have shown that only 3 seconds back are necessary to establish the weapon’s phrase. Wrestling is using a simple camera, which allows slow motion. Tests will carry on during the 2005 Leipzig World Championships.

excerpted from Minutes of the FIE Medical Commission Meeting June 11-12, 2005 Hotel de la Paix, Lausanne, Switzerlandwww.fie.ch/download/letters/2005/urgent/10/en/FIE%20MedComMinutesJune05.pdfPresident Roch joined the meeting briefly. Defoligny-Rayaume questioned him on the Commission’s concerns about transparent mask safety. President Roch replied that transparent masks cost less than other FIE masks, that the problem of safety is not the visor but rather the use of orthopedic grips, and that newer model transparent masks currently under development will be better.

So safety is an issue, but not so much when compared to cutting costs? His concern is overwhelming.
