This tragic accident in 1982 changed the sport of fencing forever. As a fencer, all of our equipment today has been changed by the accident. This is why I have been so familiar with the accident long before. Today I was overwhelmed with emotion when I read this learning that a story like this happened, 40 years later.
- pxmpxm 4y agoOdd coincidence, but I just learned about the accident this weekend, going down a wikipedia rabbit hole (as one does)
- quartesixte 4y agoThis accident was cited when I began fencing. I have seen many other instructors tell it to their beginners. I repeat this story to anyone also wondering "why all the gear?." Because people die.
