A Medieval knight re-enactor died in Northern Kentucky this past weekend after he impaled himself with his lance during a performance.
Peter Barclay, 52, of Virginia, was performing at the Society for Creative Anachronism event in Williamstown, Kentucky, on Saturday when he died, according to Cincinnati TV station WLWT. He performed under the name "Master Terafan Greydragon."
John Barclay, his brother, said in a Facebook post that the accident happened "when his metal-tipped lance, used for catching rings (not jousting), hit the ground and flipped."
Barclay's brother said the lance hit him in the sternum and impaled him. He died while being airlifted to a nearby hospital. [snip]
The Society for Creative Anachronism said it would be conducting an investigation to see how to prevent an accident like in the future.
