Even if you helicopter wield it, and ignore the obvious impracticalities of it and inability to defend yourself, the flail would still likely be hitting your hands or arms if the chain was long enough to properly hit your opponents.

For example, in the LotR movies, the Witch-king's giant flail may be less effective than, say, a halberd, but it's still effective enough given his strength and a halberd would not look nearly as frightening. This double-flail just makes you ask, "How's he going to swing it at me," and is about as terrifying as brass knuckle handcuffs.

In this case almost no additional combat training with this weapon was needed and with a good commander (like Zizka was), he had a quite efficient army (build just from "simple" peasants).

As stated, spears, and I will add, single handed axes, are excellent weapons to give to a peasant army. You can literally train for a few hours and get an effective fighting force with the spear, and train a few more to get them decent in using a hatchet with a shield for a backup. I will add that a couple days of training (on top of the aforementioned training, and training them more in the skills listed above) and you can have them effective with a short sling and shield. With this, you can have a cheap, effective fighting force in long, mid, and short range.

Sickles were used in Asia, Northern Cental Africa, and during the Germanic Renassaince. In Japan, they modified them a bit and attached a chain that you could use as either a whip or wrap around your arm or tie to a horse. In Poland, the use of modifying a scythe wasn't uncommon either. Literally, take the end off the scythe and put it on the end of the stick pointing away and you essentially have a spear. But unlike a spear with is used to thrust 99% of the time this weapon would be used to slash just like a sword. Like a sword attached to a spear.

Maybe "stop hitting yourself" would apply to this "weapon."

I actually "fought" someone in a tournament with a a double headed flail (foam weapons). He got the idea out of somewhere in Dungeons and Dragons. Anyways, he did have me confused for the first 15 seconds. Unfortunately, the two times he tried to attack me, he actually hit himself hard enough the judges scored them as self hits. As long as he rotated it in front of himself he actually had a decent defense (no better than a staff, but not bad) but as soon as he tried to strike, me, the judge and the flailer all had to dodge. Like I said, he hit himself twice, and I got the third hit while he was struggling to recover from his strike. Dumbest weapon ever. We ran over it in the parking lot.

The flail is a real thing and has some edge cases over a mace like trying to get behind someone's shield. This thing manages to throw away every advantage of the flail and brings more weaknesses. It's not more weight for an advantage or even more weight for no gain. At least the double bladed axe, for all its extra weight, allows the user to smack someone's head with a sharp blade if one side gets dull.

It looks like something a cheerleader might twirl around...

On a video from Todd's Workshop he brought a flail to Matt Easton at an event with many experienced HEMA practitioners present. They did a test with a shield (mounted on a frame for safety) and found a propensity for the head to whip around the top with potential to doing damage to the hand holding the shield. They also had a few different guys face off with some NERF'd ones and found them a tricky thing to judge, and when trying to block and incoming flail strike the head still whips around your weapon and strikes you anyway. Note: these where two handed flails

About the flail. I once was toldin a museum that flails were used to get around shields to hit the arm. (Hit the top of the shield with the stick, so the chains swing down and break the shield-arm of the foe? Is that real use for flails? Bypassing shields

I feel like there's an element of flails being harder to defend against that makes them viable.. but I'd like to see some tests done.. like a dummy holding a static block and then striking at it with different weapons to see if weapons with chains/ropes have a higher chance of striking to a vital target (like the head) around a block.

Hey Shad, a thought for you. How could you make a versatile double sided flail/mace? Could you make one end fused to the shaft, (like any sane person would do) and with the chain end, make small shaft that could double as a second hand spot maybe? (That way you wouldn’t accidentally hit yourself flipping it around, and potentially a leverage point?) For example: if you want a swingy flail, you would have one side, and if you wanted a straight mace like thing, you could swap it around and use that bit, theoretically. I don’t know if you cold make it any better than a nunchuck, but I think that would work better than that ugly thing.

It was bothering me so I looked it up, the same kind of weapon shows up in the castlevania animated series, a boss vampire called Dragan that the protagonists briefly fight is using something similar. However his version works so much better as a weapon merely because the handle and chains are both much longer, he can feasibly make strikes without fear of hitting himself so long as he keeps the staff moving and he does so to control a larger effective area, kind of like a greatsword. His weapon would surely weigh an aweful lot but then again he is a burly vampire boss man.
