Say what you like about the impracitaclity of the double-bladed sword, it's a least concievable that someone could use it effectively. This sword/flail thing, though...I honestly can't picture how anyone could use it without beating themself unconscious.

It guides an opponent's weapon right to you, not away as armor is supposed to. (Ought to get at least a -1 to AC!) If you whack one of the spikes hard enough with a metal bashing weapon it ought to have a chance to be driven into the wearer's body. And if you fall in the mud, good luck getting back up again.
