IF a cavalryman could survive getting hit in the facemask, I would think he could grab the mask and rip it from the hinge, essentially breaking the hinge. I know I could tear a cheek piece from any one of my helmets... and I'm not very rugged, and also an old man. 
But frankly, anyone wearing a facemask into battle had to be a lot like the spoiled son of Arthur in the film Excalibur. I'd chuck hockey pucks at that little creep's face mask all day long. ;-)
