- In this video, I have put together some of the armor failures from the 2023 Ohio Renaissance Fair. Armor does sometimes fail in this sport no matter how well put together or maintained it is. One of the marshals jobs is to identify these failures in a timely manner and in these clips, those instances are shown quite well.
Each failure:
Clip 1- Helmet visor strap came unbuckled.
Clip 2- Axe shaft broke.
Clip 3- Entire helmet liner came out of helmet, helmet fell off fighter.
Clip 4- Helmet liner slipped covering fighters eyes.
Clip 5- Leather strap on elbow ripped in half.
Clip 6- Gauntlet fell off.
Clip 7- Shoulder plate strap ripped causing armor to fall off.(A little hard to see, its at the back near center. The guy that slips out of the list.)
"stop fight!" *clanking of adrenaline-fueled tank fighting confusedly grinds to a halt*
That last clip especially lol
This looks both terrifying and a blast at the same time.
It is
Interesting footage, never really thought about this. Maybe for bigger tournaments, an airhorn or something would be a good idea? I imagine it isn't easy hearing "stop fighting" through the helmets, and it would suck to be a little too late for something unarmored to get struck.
It's a little hard hearing in the helmets, thats what the stick is for. If you've got a big yellow flag or stick shoved in your face, it's a little easier to know when to stop. As for bigger stuff, sometimes things like airhorns are used
Where is this ring located at the Ohio Ren fair? I go multiple times a year, and I've never seen this!
This is a new section of the fair, and its located near the back. for the 2024 fair they plan on building a new ring for us.
Nerds!
