You also need to take into account, as the above has said, that people don't defend as well as they should 'because it's not a real weapon' and because they're not trained to react right.

There is just as much truth in the idea that people need to be aware of how to dodge or parry, how not to stand so their head is the prime target of wild swings, how to react sensibly if someone runs in from the edge of vision - and I'm trying to get that organised, but I'm not going to be able to do much until June because, y'know, wedding and shit.

And our terrain is lethal, but I love it anyway.
