used to have an old grey office chair that our cat loved. It became 'his chair'. We had it in the living room so he could lay in it when we watched movies/TV. One day he takes a long run from a case of the zoomies , did a flying leap, landed on the edge of the chair. It goes flying across the floor, trips, and hits our TV. It went in the trash after that.

Just a fake scenario played out by some LARP'ers. But it is pretty realistic... (Short video)

yeah the only weapon the peasants had was the crossbow the guy was loading near the first 3rd of the video that was even remotely going to be impactful (no pun intended) against the knight. There's a reason why knights would carry like a dirk or other short bladed weapon because it would end up as a hugging match if you couldn't rattle your opponent's brain inside his helmet and then it was just a scramble to stab into an armpit or something else soft enough and not behind a piece of metal.

There was some kind of short documentary style thing about medieval combat some years ago that highlighted this. Can't find it with a cursory search, but it's out there.

Wasn't shadiversity or whatever the larp-king was, but it was interesting. It also highlighted knights basically using swords as sticks because the 'sharp' thing was completely ineffective unless you were basically hacking through peasants wearing tunics/etc. Against other knights it was just a piece of metal to try and fuck up the visuals of your opponent or maybe break a limb inside a gauntlet/chauses.
