Because she outfitted him in armor with a very well padded glove part so he can catch it safely no matter what position its in and even if he misses he will be generally protected. Now if his helmet falls off again he could give himself a major injury but then that comes to skill in using it.Still don't get how this doesn't have the same pullback problem as the sword
he is throwing a (spiked) ball not a blade.Still don't get how this doesn't have the same pullback problem as the sword
If it's on a chain that long, it's either an east asian rope weapon or fictional. If a head of a flail can swing back far enough to crush your fingers, then it's not a historical flail. European weapon names are often hybridized, like a glaive-guisarme-fauchard. If it's got spiked articulated head and can't hurt your fingers, it's called a morning star flail.Though I believe if it's on a chain it's technically considered a sort of flail, not a morning star, it's always important to remember that Rudy's world is not ours, and she is not bound to such petty things as our history of warfare!
