It is amazing there are such few accidents considering several events may be seen on the field along with javelin.

But metal tipped lawn darts were banned .

I don’t think safety glasses would have helped in this case.

Good thing it wasn’t a Mustang.

Running backwards and planting javelins like for a palisade must be pretty high-brow stuff, coming from a university and all.

Needs a spotter for backwards sprints. I can do it for a decent wage.

In all seriousness, man, that was painful to read.

In jest, it is a good lesson. When javelins are outlawed only bad guys will have javelins....

...and MOPAR collectors.

No coaches around? Running backwards is not safe without spotters.

I threw the Javelin in college.

In practice we threw it back and forth to each other. If by chance it was headed towards you, you simply walked out of the way.

A freshman sprinter on the University of Georgia track team was hospitalized after he was accidentally impaled by himself on a javelin, the school said Wednesday.

There! The javelin was innocent.

We need a nation-wide ban on golf clubs because they can be used as clubs.

The old joke went that the University of Alabama’s first scholarship for a black athlete went to a javelin catcher.
