[MR] Fwd: [EK] The latest extreme sport - Jousting sca-east Digest, Vol 90, Issue 70

[Gina Shelley]

This looks seriously awesome. 

 

Now, having said that, don't you wonder how people don't get killed A LOT doing this? I mean, even in period...how come you didn't have armies of guys all laid up in traction and such? Clearly, they didn't cuz if they had as many guys dead as you would think they might have, they probably would have quit before they did. 

 

Their idea of doctoring was to put leeches on people. I am just saying. 

 

Just something I always wondered about.
