If movies have not lied to me (😜), knights’ tournaments are involve hacking, slashing, and jousting each other. How did they not kill each other using such weapons or speed on horses? And if it was actually dangerous, why did they participate?

If you were rich and could afford heavy armor, you were ok. If you were poorer and had cheap armor, you might get injured. Freak accidents did happen that would cause death, but unlike GOT would have you believe, most Knights went uninjured. Just like modern-day Bull Riders, you can make the sport safer, but there is always risk involved.
