 * Cough.

Yeah. The tilt, which was the sport where knights rode horses at each other and tried to unseat the other with a lance as opposed to the joust which was the overall term for the tournaments including the sword fights, had specific lances made for it which had blunted tips which were designed to shatter upon impact and not do damage to the oponent unless they were super unlucky.

Foot lances are about 10-14ft long.

Horse lances are 10ft long at most, and usually at least 8ft in length.
