Reply to comment by swistak84 in ELI5 How did knights participate in tournaments like jousting without killing themselves? by QuantumHamster
Your first statement was too broad to be accurate. I tend to agree with the "impractical", yet it was specialized apparatus. As for the wiki quote, it doesn't prove the "set of stairs" and is only for a specific région and time.

You claimed that's a myth when there are clear historical examples.
But I've added qualifier to my original statement to make it clear that not all of them were like that.
