:o
If that helmet wasn't there ... I'd wager the skull doesn't take impacts like that too well!

To people who doubt armour's effectiveness, I just send them BOTN videos. Without those harnesses, those folks would all be dead.

Exaggeration. They would just be more bruised than their egos. :)

Without armor, some of them'd be dead- most likely from blunt force trauma and massive injuries to the head, limbs and torso. Some of the shots those guys land would be lethal w/out their harnesses.
Thorsteinn:
Remember the report that came out last year from the Team USA guy after the event wherein he mentioned the ambulance runs, broken shoulders, severed fingers, torn muscles, and blood?
Sir William:
Yes, but not a single casualty; the armor works.
SirNathanQ:
They aren't pulling their blows, blunt or not, you simply can't take a full on polaxe blow to the head and be able to tell people about it afterwards.
They suffer injuries yeah, I'll grant you that, but they survive, and can fight another day. That in itself with the blows they are taking is a testimony to how awesome armour is.
