Javalin in judges foot. - Not for squeamish

[esad]

Haven't seen any video of this, but you'd have to wonder if there is a better way to keep track of where the Javalin lands then having judges on the field. I'm sure people remember seeing that one judge a few years back getting one in the chest.

You'd think stuff like this might happen more often given how fast the javalin is being thrown.
