People still joust? Isn't it ridiculously unsafe?

 

[FrisianDude]

People still joust? Isn't it ridiculously FUN?

Yes, yes it must be.

 

[Dudro]

It's probable a lot safer now.  Paramedic on seen, who are trained well.  Better armor (maybe not)?  Safer armor, at least.

I've seen some jousting in my times.

It's probably done in a way that the lance is made to shatter easily. But what about the splinters?

 

[Kleidophoros]

is rock climbing, boxing or wingsuit flying safe?

 

[Ambalon]

is rock climbing, boxing or wingsuit flying safe?

If you do so in those artificial rocks indoors with the whole safety gear, yes.
But yes, why is it any different from boxing, or any wrestling at all? (also, isnt the jousting just for reenactment?)

Well, if you do jousting inside with fake horses and rubber lances, then yes.

 

[Kleidophoros]

and dont forget you can get your ear bitten off in boxing.

 

[Shatari]

If you do so in those artificial rocks indoors with the whole safety gear, yes.

If you only do your rock climbing indoors, then what's the point?

 

[Ambalon]

If you do so in those artificial rocks indoors with the whole safety gear, yes.

If you only do your rock climbing indoors, then what's the point?

If you're gonna die, and eventually all mankind is gonna die, what's the point in doing anything?

 

[Shatari]

If you're gonna die, and eventually all mankind is gonna die, what's the point in doing anything?

Were you making a point or a non sequitur?

Oh ****, it seems Ambalon is about to kill himself! Remove every paramedic nearby, and close all hospitals! We wouldn't want to accidentally stop him...

[Almalexia]

Its the universal symbol for the internet rage.

 

[Temujin]

If it is any less manly than this at 1:03, then they must be pansies.

I love it when the two hit each other and look like they fly off their horses to the side in tandem.
