I haven't been here in a while. Well, very interesting material.
I don't want to add much more to the chest protector stuff except to say
"Sternum Fracture? Holy Cow!". I've never seen anything like this, and
hope not to see it in future. It does seem odd to me, as most of the
weapon-caused injuries I've heard of (and are addressed by plastrons)
have been sharp shards resulting from broken blades, not blunt force
trauma.
My other notes relate to Walter Green's post. Great you're putting
together this repository. Wherever did you find "Right and Left Handed
Foil"? I haven't seen that since high school many years ago. For those
who haven't seen this: Terrone recommended changing hands with every
touch, which would be problematic for anything other than Italian grips.
And Walter: a touche thong?
