^^ Fifty pounds isn't very heavy (particularly when it is spread evenly over the whole body). I've seen shows on the History International Channel and jousting tourneys in real life where armored riders would fall off then get right back up. As a matter of fact, a man on the HI Channel fell off on purpose in order to prove that myth wrong.

Does the knight or Samurai even have to be using a sword? Neither had swords as the main battlefield weapon anyway...
