	Flail (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flail is a medieval weapon made of one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain.
		The term "flail" comes from the motion of the weapon, and was actually given first to a farming implement used to separate wheat from chaff.
		It is generally believed that that the military flail is appreciably more damaging than either the sword or mace, and it is not so heavy that it needs to be swung in circles to gain momentum before striking.

	TRAUMA.ORG: Thoracic Trauma (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A segment of the chest wall that is flail is unable to contribute to lung expansion.
		The main significance of a flail chest however is that it indicates the presence of an underlying pulmonary contusion.
		A flail chest is identified as paradoxical movement of a segment of the chest wall - ie indrawing on inspiration and moving outwards on expiration.

	eMedicine - Flail Chest : Article Excerpt by: H Scott Bjerke, MD, FACS
		Flail chest is one of the worst subset of these injuries and is likely the most common serious injury to the thorax seen by clinicians.
		While many patients with flail chest require intubation, advances in the knowledge of physiology and chest wall mechanics, as well as the potential morbidity of prolonged mechanical ventilation, have reestablished that it is the severity of the underlying lung injury and not the flail segment that causes a problem.
		Flail chest is foremost a clinical finding and observation that is often accompanied by physiologic derangements, which are sometimes globally lumped into the diagnosis.

	The Case for the Flail: Mechanical Landmine Clearance for the Humanitarian Application (3.2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Aardvark Flail evolved from a system first introduced in World War II to breach the minefields protecting "Fortress Europe." Years of field experience and design improvements have resulted in a system capable of clearing all types of mines in a non-combatant environment.
		The flail is also very adept at clearing mines in areas that have tall grass, brush and substantial shrubs with diameters of up to 4 inches, thereby eliminating the risky step of manually clearing the brush before clearance can commence.
		The basic flail clearance system is simple, operationally proven, efficient, and effective, but unless it is supported by a regular inspection program, routine maintenance, proper lubricants and oils, and an air compressor and welding equipment, it will become just another piece of abandoned machinery.

	eMedicine - Flail Chest : Article by H Scott Bjerke, MD, FACS
		Flail chest is an indicator of significant kinetic force to the chest wall and rib cage but also may occur with lesser trauma in persons with underlying pathology, including osteoporosis, total sternectomy, and multiple myeloma.
		Clinical: Flail chest is a clinical anatomic diagnosis noted in blunt trauma patients with paradoxical or reverse motion of a chest wall segment while spontaneously breathing.
		The flail portion of the diagnosis is a clinical observation that is supported by the radiologic identification of the fracture pattern.

		Flail chest can also occur when ribs are fractured proximally in conjunction with disarticulation of costochondral cartilages distally.
		In very young animals in whom the costal cartilages are quite flexible, a flail chest can occur when several ribs are fractured proximally and the costal cartilages allow the segment to move independently of the rest of the chest wall.
		If the flail segment is impairing gas exchange or contributing to hypoxemia, the flail segment should be supported by a firm chest wrap or temporarily by laying the patient with the flail segment down against the exam table.

	Flail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The flail was very similar to the mace in theory, that is, put a hard object with mass on the end of a stick so you could build up momentum before striking the target.
		In flails, separating the striking object (example: metal balls, spiked or not) from the haft by a chain gave flails flexibility.
		While also similar in concept to a morningstar or ball and chain, the flail generally consisted of multiple chains and balls attached to a haft; thus, the flail was even more of an weapon impossible to parry against.

	Flail - LoveToKnow 1911
		It consists of a short thick club called a "swingle" or "swipple" attached by a rope or leather thong to a wooden handle in such a manner as to enable it to swing freely.
		The "flail" was a weapon used for military purposes in the middle ages.
		This weapon was known as the "morning star" or "holy water sprinkler." During the panic over the Popish plot in England from 1678 to 1681, clubs, known as "Protestant flails," were carried by alarmed Protestants (see Green Ribbon Club).

	Medieval Spiked Skull Flail - MWArt.com
		Flail is a medieval weapon that is made of one or more spiked metal balls attached to a handle with a chain.
		Throughout the history, the flail was rarely used by knights, who held the sword in much higher self esteem.
		The flail is not so heavy that it needs to be swung in circles to gain momentum before striking, but on the other hand, it's not light enough to be used as a whip.

		Combined with the increased prevalence of horse warfare (which eased movement and gave an advantage to its warring riders who carried spears) and the introduction of massive siege engines, these hand-held weapons allowed invaders like the Normans to overawe less technologically-advanced peoples.
		The peasants, on the other hand, generally fought back with the only weapons in their possession: the tools that they used to till their fields and tend their homes - hayforks, flails, sickles, axes, clubs with spikes, and boar-spears.
		Interestingly, these same tools eventually became an integral part of the weapons inventory of most armies.
