Tumbling in full plate

[Whimsical]

I have read in the past that there is a video somewhere in the internets that shows someone doing acrobatic maneuvers while wearing heavy armor. My google-fu is weak today. If someone could provide a link to this video, I would appreciate it.

Might not be the right one.

The person in that one only cart wheeled in "quarter" plate.

Tallest dwarf evar!

I don't know about a video, but I've seen it demonstrated in real life at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds (UK). I was astonished at the feats of agility the two guys in full plate were able to accomplish.

I don't know if there's a tumbling demonstration on AEMMA's website (http://www.aemma.org), but there are a number of full-contact fighting demos that show how fast a man in plate can move.

I can tumble while holding a plate. Preferably paper. Does that count?

Pkitty can tumble? I dare you to prove it. At Gen Con.

(Tumble over the railing of Embassy Suits is more like it.)

I've seen a guy tumble in full plate, but it wasn't on purpose.

I've seen plenty of guys tumble in mail.

You know, GURPS has gotten lots of flak for its claim that you can do acrobatics in plate mail. Plenty of people said that this "proved" that GURPS was unrealistic after all...
