Because the pics shown only show relative positions of sword, shield, armour & potentially vulnerable body parts I was mostly concerned about damage to edges that might happen when swords are in close proximity and at some undefined speed. I did assume that it wouldn't have been anywhere near the speed used with blunts or wasters but the fact that things were done in slow motion almost like a series of stills would minimize the odds of equipment damage and safety mostly a non - issue. |
Well Jean, you could have saved yourself the trouble of all that overanalyzing and simply realized this wasn't my first time at the faire and give us the benefit of the doubt that we're responsible safety-conscious adults. ;)
I tried to convince Greg to stand there and let my chop him a good one on the head, so as to demonstrate the effectivness of the sword and armor but for some reason he wouldn't go for it. :p
