      In modern games they use bouncy-rubber tips to ensure safety. Old games were definetely cruel sadly.

      Also the mentioned “insane tricks” includes hitting the other guys javelin by swinging yours in hand like baseball because horses can’t dodge. I seen it happen twice.

        I feel like if I were a horse, I’d still go ouch if a big rubber-tipped javelin were thrown at me.
