 This happened in 2007!

But it is eerily similar to the manner of the death of Henri II of France.

This is what happens when you reenact without studying history:



"A HISTORY buff died after being speared as he re-enacted a joust for TV’s Time 

Team.

 

"Paul Allen, 54, was struck in the eye by a splinter of lance that pierced a 

slit in his helmet. An inquest heard yesterday that he was not holding his 

shield properly and his headgear was unsuitable for the C4 show’s stunt."

Compare that with this story from history:
