Reply to comment by SnakeBeardTheGreat in ELI5 How did knights participate in tournaments like jousting without killing themselves? by QuantumHamster
It's still extremely dangerous, especially long-term. Brain injuries are pretty serious, and can be cumulative. Over the course of an entire career the trauma mounts up.
But you're not wrong; it definitely used to be more dangerous, especially outwardly.

Reply to comment by phiwong in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
So basically any historical landmark has a % chance of being a white elephant gift from a country's past to its future.
