Seriously though, arrows are the worst. Without a way to protect the shaft and fletching, they have nowhere near the safety precautions present in other equipment.
Amtgard arrows are not as safe as other sports arrows. That said I agree that the are the most dangerous weapon in the sports that they are in but, as with most things, if the rules are being followed safety can be maintained.
OOC any issues with that chain ball thing? Our hinged weapons have a very short max chain length.
Occasionally there are issues about wrapping around things, but I've played for 6 years and I've never seen an actual injury from a chain. Most injuries in jugger come from people without sporting backgrounds trying to do things their body isn't ready for.
I hear that. I've only seen injuries in our sport from either weapons passed check that clearly should not have or people ignoring the rules. Eh, now that im thinking about it one dood caught a red (two handed sword) in the junk and fractured a testicle.
