[Cronislee]

In a word; Amazing. Especially when your in the list with them.
two 900+ pound horses, with two 200+ pound men, each wearing roughly 70-100 pounds of armor, travelling at 25 MPH, and hitting each other with the combined force of a 30MPH car crash- 3 to 5 times a round.
Keeping in mind, these are not normal horses, these are Percheron War Horses.

Even with full armor, roughly 3-5 jousters die a year. And when they actualy hit each other, the lances can shatter into pieces, some traveling up to thirty feet from the impact. If a Knight falls off, he looses. Otherwise, whoever has the most shattered lances is the winner.
I saw one knight, Mark, get dismounted and slam into the center post that supports the List line before falling off of it. We thought we was really hurt when he began yelling, and when we got his helmet off blood was in his mouth, but it was from him biting his tongue from the impact.
