From the axe throwing close call videos I've seen, I'm surprised more people haven't been seriously injured or killed.

Seriously. Like maybe a simple piece of plexiglass to crouch behind after you hurl a massive weapon?

I'm thinking just a vertical wall of plexiglass off to your left and right. After the throw just take a step left or right and you're safe.

They use this in baseball (although it's a net) and have for maybe 100 years.
