It weighs nearly ten pound*, and the lock which holds it closed is a faithful replica of such ancient devices. An expert locksmith is kept on the set at all times when the mask i& in use, just in case anything should go wrong. Rather than constantly remove the mask, Hayward sips water through a straw whenever he becomes thirsty, especially after delivering long lines.
