No reason in the world.

Jay, there was a very interesting game submitted for the Microgame Design
Contest that was held a few years back.  One of the games was called
Glider Pit Gladiators, described as "Leonardo DaVinci's flying machines meet 
the Roman Coliseum. Six men launch themselves into the deep pit, swooping
through the air in primitive gliders. Armed for combat, they battle with 
spear, net and sword (or all the rocks they can carry.) The last in the 
air wins."

It was a very nice mechanism for just this sort of thing.  More info at
