Line 73:
** The test was performed a second time with three archers at full draw firing one by one at random times. The martial artist did manage to catch an arrow, but it took dozens of attempts.
** It was also noted that if you have the time to see the arrow coming at you and the reflexes to react, it would probably be more practical to just move out of the way.
* [[Banana
* [[Banana Peel]]: At least the slapstick movie version, in which you're guaranteed to fall. Jamie was running while blindfolded across banana peels and didn't slip. (Of course they then [[Up to Eleven|ramped things up]] enough to get both the guys [[Rule of Funny|landing on their butts]].)
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: You'd lose a chunk of your hand at best and probably your head, too. Possible if done by a trained martial artist using proper hand protection-- i.e., metal, which defeats the purpose since it's not "bare-handed". And, as with the arrow-catch, anyone who has the reflexes to block a blade barehanded also has the reflexes to simply dodge the blade.
