Anyone getting that much out of balance is dead. I like the Falx though, almost as much as the Daneaxe.

The reenactor said that he tried to let the falx guide itself as much as possible. I imagine that if he put more weight behind it and stepped a bit closer, he would be a little more balanced. Likely their biggest problem was getting the falx out of the scutum after the initial swipe.
