Someone who suffered an eye injury might sue the person that passed out the side shields, claiming he thought they made his glasses safe.
Which is why i'm glad i have both polycarb glasses and sideshields. at GLR one of the refs even stoppped me and checked. so if you are using side shields, makes SURE you have polycarb lenses.
