The thing is the hospital that he was sent to was two miles away from the stadium and that was where the javelin was removed so the guy who threw it got a distance of 2 miles and 85 meters
This is not the fault of the Javelin thrower, it is the fault of the Olympic regulation committee who saw no problem letting people stand around down range of people throwing metal spears.
It was a mistake on pitkamaki's part. One accident doesn't mean the whole sport should be banned. That's like saying football (soccer) should be banned every time someone breaks their leg
+TXV1300R no it would be like if the ref in Soccer was standing on the field and got a concussion, so they put in a rule saying the Ref has to be off the field during play.
@@azynkron he would've been a leader of a legion or however it works. 1. Would've by far have been the best javelin thrower 2. People 175cm and above were already considered candidtes to be leaders and Tero is 195cm.
@@savagehalt1555 Surprised you haven’t read about it. After twenty near misses, he finally impaled someone and was fined and made to sit out the next six months of competition. Something’s real fishy about it all.
A Roman emperor, Julian the apostate was killed by a military javelin as well. Just like this accident the javelin penetrated his lungs and liver, he died 3 days later due to his injuries
Guy beside Salim: Emm Salim? Did you know there's a javelin sticking out of your back? Salim: What? What are you tal.......OHHHHH MY GODDD!!! ARHHHHH!!! HOLY FUCKK!!!! WHYYY GODD! WHYY!!!! Guy beside Salim: Told you.
For this to have happened, it takes stupidity from both the tournament organizers and the athletes. Letting athletes be there while people are throwing, is obviously dumb. Being down range and not paying attention, again, pretty obviously dumb XD
bloody hell! thats quite the sports injury, going to hospital with a javalin impaled in the shoulder! mind you that was a extremely good distence, that had to be at least 70! give that guy a gold medal!
"Ok, in our layout for this event, we've set it up so that the rest area is downrange of the Javelin Throw.""Isn't that a little ddangerour?""Naw, these guys are pro's. They'll keep it in the cone."
Human body can handle clear cuts or spikes extremly well, dont try it but as long as nothing get teared its pretty unlikly to die as long as its not the heart or head
If they left in the javelin and the ambulance drove off to a hospital, and then they got it out at the hospital, doesn't he have an unbeatable world record?
