In movies, the hero is pinned down while the villain tries to stab him — but somehow, he always stops the knife, overpowers the attacker, and survives.
So we tested it.
We tried multiple versions:
- Full mount position (attacker on top)
- Guard position (attacker between legs)
- Swapped roles to account for **size and strength difference**
💡 In one scenario, the attacker was **stronger and heavier**.
Then we switched — and even the **smaller, lighter person** managed to land a "fatal stab". It just took longer.
But the outcome? Always the same.
We **timed every attempt**.
Some ended in 1 second. Some took 17.
But in each one... the defender "died".
