There was a story from my old high school. One kid launched one a bit too well and went through an umpire's shoulder. He pulled it out and put it where he thought it was meant to land then went to hospital. Suffice it to say that was the last javelin event at that school.
My school story the javelin went straight through another kid. The wood shop one with a drill press was kinda worse.
Oh shit!
