Did you see this story about the photographer who wandered into the javelin area at a track and had a javelin go through his leg? You've gotta see the photos and video. The guy had the presence of mind to take a photo as folks worked on his leg.
I've seen photographers hit with baseballs and basketballs and run over on the sidelines at football games. If you've never had the opportunity to walk the sidelines at a college or pro football game, you have no idea how fast and hard these guys are hitting. But being hit with a javelin, that's a first. You'd think that as a former Marine who had been in Afghanistan, the guy would have a better sense for danger.
The kid who threw the javelin, by the way, went on to win the state title in the event. Although, I'm not sure whether it was for distance or aim.
