Here’s an example why playings sports is very dangerous. A unlucky 16 year old high school student was hit on the head by a 6-kg hammer at school during sports practice. As a result, he is now lying in a hospital in a coma.
The incident happened in Adachi Higashi high school in Tokyo whereby the hammer was thrown by a 17-year-old student practicing for a track and field meet.
The hammer flew 40 meters and hit the 16-year-old when he was picking up his own hammer.
A teacher who coaches the students told police he had always them to shout out a warning to each other before they throw the hammer.

The poor fella is really unlucky. The field is so huge and it still landed on his head.
The only thankful thing was that it wasn’t a javelin, else he would be skewered instead of being hammered.
Wait is he ok though?
I mean a 6kg hammer to the head should kill you shouldn’t it?
@ Hei: oops I forgot to mention in the post that he’s now lying in the hospital in a coma
whats with all these student accidents?!?!? hope it doesnt spread to england……
I hope he will recover from the coma.. I dunno why alot of accidents are happening in schools this month..
Anyway, out-of-topic, the girl looks cute.. *right-click & save*.. ^^
@Alafista: thanks, but dang that’s depressing..
@Dee: Heads up!
All these “accidents” must be sabotage for the olympics this year
40 metres…. that’s impressive, well to someone who only got 30s in his time in middle school track and field…. D:
