New You ought to see our eye protection...
...and we DO wear padding/mesh in the appropriate areas. The only injuries in the 12 year history of the group I was involved with were self-inflicted, such as the guy who walked backwards off an 18' embankment in full plate armor. :P

Okay, there was one case where a guy's weapon was called "nonspec" (it had PVC showing) and he was told to a) fix the weapon, b) not use the weapon, or c) leave the game. He refused, tried, was restrained, and then handed over to the friendly police officer who liked to watch us. Wasn't charged with anything, but we didn't see their face around those parts again... Something about a possible assault 'n battery charge being pressed.

New Ah
I was only briefly involved in the SCA, and that was a long time ago. But I seem to remember that injuries there are non-existent to rare as well.

I have never been involved in boffer fighting. I have just seen it a couple of times.

Cheers,
Ben
