Are thrusting tips "Safe"? HEMA Longsword and Rapier Testing

This is not meant to be a serious scientific test, but we wanted to highlight our observations with "rubber tipped" vs "non tipped" weapons and impacts to masks. Please feel free to leave your comments and thoughts below as well as do your own testing and comparisons. Again, this video was made with the idea of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), sub concussive strikes, whiplash, and concussive impacts in HEMA. This is not regarding "piercing" events such as through cloth or other gear.
Hope you enjoy and it gives you something to think on when it comes to your training. Cheers!
