Did anyone see the hammer competition from Osaka the other day, when a thrower got off balance and his hammer shot off at the wrong angle. They are surrounded by large protective cages for these occasions, but for some reason this time the hammer flew straight through the cage and landed in the long jump pit! Luckily no one was in the pit at the time, imagine being hit by several kilos of solid steel travelling at speed, it doesn't bear thinking about!
