A Medieval re-enactor playing the role of a jousting knight accidentally impaled himself with his own lance during a performance as spectators watched. He later died.

Peter Barclay, a 52-year-old father of two from Woodbridge, Virginia, was participating in the medieval festival equestrian games in Williamstown, Kentucky, when things went horrible wrong on Saturday.

LOL. Stabbing yourself to death with your own lance. This is a first.

Freak accident. Prayers up for friends and family.

Maybe the SCA should consider kevlar vests like Bull Riders wear for participants who run a remote risk of impalement. They'd fit under the rest of the kit and remain concealed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
