They had big pillow fight in NYC sometimes.

Saw one in Union Square. I thought it was cool, till I saw some guy sneeze into his pillow, and joined the fight.

Fuck that noise.
 
I fucking hate pillow fights. And pillow fighting with a bunch of flicking military school jockos sounds like my goddamn nightmare.
 
I always hated pillow fights as a kid. There's always that one insecure kid who takes it way too seriously and swings as if it's an actual fight and his life depends on it.

I've never been a violent person but man that made me heated. Here I am pullin' my shots to not hurt anyone and this one red faced brat barrels in swinging with reckless abandon. I normally had to stop and leave the pillow fight or I'd switch to fists.

What I'm really saying is I get angry just looking at those gifs and that is my nightmare.
 
The worst injury in a pillow fight isn't even the unsuspecting clack to the back of the head from a pound of goose-down at 60mph.

It's the near miss. When you see it coming, and you pull back juuuuuust far enough to dodge the 2 pound wreckingball of cotton and polyester... but not far enough for the corner of the pillowcase to miss grazing your eyeball.

That pillowcase nub has taken all of the moisture in your eye, and left nothing but a searing red strip of agony across your exposed eyeball.

THAT, my friends and enemies, is REAL PAIN.
 
West Point has a tradition of lack of chill:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggnog_Riot

The Eggnog Riot, sometimes known as the Grog Mutiny, was a riot that took place at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, on 24–25 December 1826. It was caused by a drunken Christmas Day party in the North Barracks of the academy. Two days prior to the incident, a large quantity of whiskey was smuggled into the academy to make eggnog for the party, giving the riot its name. The riot eventually involved more than one-third of the cadets by the time it ceased on Christmas morning. A subsequent investigation by academy officials resulted in the implication of seventy cadets and the court-martialing of twenty of them and one enlisted soldier. Among the participants in the riot—though he was not court-martialed—was future Confederate States President, Jefferson Davis.
 
When people start putting fucking helmets and lockboxes into their pillowcases, you know it's time to call it a day on the whole tradition.

That's obviously a rumor that's going to happen in any sort of thing like this. Snowball fights always have iceballs, pillow fights always have something in the pillowcase. Somebody hit in the head with a helmet is going to have a skull fracture, not a concussion.

The article states in 2012 someone put a lockbox in a pillowcase so it's not unreasonable to think it happened again this year. Also, there are reports of broken bones as well.

Sure bones could break due to just physical contact if people collide while swinging but I don't think pillowloading (a term I totally just made up) should be thrown out as a possibility.
