RIP that dude's neck.
That's a heck of a photo given what they had to work with in 1912!
Ah, so this is when the cybermen were created.
CTE go brrrr
Nice bs pop shove.
That's not how you tackle a house. You are suppose to reach around and tickle it's balls first.
Remember back then it was more like rugby. *Forward pass was introduced in 1906, maybe this is why they're testing helmets.
No helmets in rugby still though!
There are, don't know which levels wear them. They are simple padded helmets. Good for jostling, not for collisions.
Scrum caps. Worn at all levels. Padding around the ears to prevent caulie lug
Hard helmets are forbidden in rugby.
Sadly almost certainly a fake photo. Issues with how you'd get such a sharp image of anyone in motion in 1912 aside, look at the shadows and see where the light is coming from:
- Our boys with the hats are lit from the right
- The slats on the building are lit from top right
Now look at battering ram's helmet, especially where it meets the wall. Where's the shadow? Where would you expect the shadow to be?
I want some of what you're smoking. The lighting source looks 100% consistent to me. Literally the right side of everything is consistently illuminated. I would expect to see battering ram's helmet shadow to be against the wall. There it is. Also, battering ram isn't in motion. He's definitely stopped moving at this point.
