Words cannot even describe the reaction I had when I saw this:

THAT is what jousting with a solid lance does.

I no longer want to do anything but joust with pool noodles, or maybe balsa lances like A Knights Tale.

Egads.

Here lies Sir William.
He was warned that he should not go,

I don't know if you saw the replies from the high end jousters in the archive or not but they said this is really a rare occurrence among good riders:
