Too bad that freaked you out, a bit. As a first-hand observer, I can say with confidence that:
Phoenix Swords is a Very Very PROFESSIONAL at SAFETY MINDED organization!
I believe you would pass the "Prudent Man" argument.
Still, some patrons still don't get the concept: "Real-People, Real-Swords, Real-Dangerous!"
IMHO If folks buy a ticket to the Fair, where jousting, swords, etc. are part of the entertainment, they are accepting the risk when they make the purchase. Its too bad that the mindless, baby-stroller wheeling, people will always be a concern.
Also too bad that Mass, Conn, RI...etc. are not "acceptable risk" states.
