Apparently they use different kinds of lances for different things.

Damn shame. Sometimes things just happen.
None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow.

I don't understand how a long jousting lance can flip around, unless maybe it broke in half when it hit the ground and the tip came back at him? That's pretty sad. Family guy too.

Peter went to spear a paper plate while on horseback when something went wrong and his lance impaled him.

Wow, indeed a tragedy.
It goes to show, when its your time....its your time. Stranger things have and will happen. Unfortunately.

Horrible. Recreating an entertaining part of history for people and dying like this is really unfortunate.
