 an exposed side ( 40 );   a head contacting side ( 30 ) biasly disposed to said head contacting side.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a biasing means ( 20 ) biasly connected to said head contacting side ( 40 ) and said exposed side.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a means to secure the mask with impact dampening to a human head ( 60 ).   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein said means to secure the mask with impact dampening means to a human head is a head strap ( 60 ). 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said biasing means ( 20 ) is a spring ( 130 ) secured at one end to said exposed side ( 40 ) and at the other end to said head contacting side ( 30 ). 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said exposed side ( 40 ) has a front plate ( 120 ) extending therefrom, and said head contacting side ( 30 ) has a back plate ( 110 ) extending therefrom, and a bolt ( 90 ) extends through said front plate ( 120 ) and said back plate ( 110 ), a spring is biasly disposed on said bolt ( 90 ) between said front plate ( 120 ) and said back plate ( 110 ), a nut ( 150 ) securely disposed on said bolt ( 90 ) to secure said bolt ( 90 ) between said front plate ( 120 ) and said back plate ( 110 );
 whereby when the exposed side ( 40 ) encounters an impact, the exposed side ( 40 ) is displaced rearwardly in unison with said biasing means ( 20 ).
