Yes, I was refering to the third picture you posted, with the guys clearly moving in on the public at a pace. I did some mock fighting for a television shoot, there was only a very small group of combatants, but it could so easily go wrong with people waving sharp spears and pointy swords around. A few inches of blade in the armpit or neckarea and it is curtains. In Holland, a guy (professional fight re-enactor) was killed a few years back before an audience in a well rehearsed fight sequence were he lost count of the blows and stopped a blunt sided sword in the head.
