What is the scariest thing you've ever experienced at a track meet? I saw a hammer almost hit somebody on the track at Tom Black in Knoxville. This despite the event being held at 9 am, all sorts of barricades set up to secure the area, signs posted, etc. Still, some yahoo decided to run some laps and almost got hurt. That errant hammer hit about ten feet from him and several officials began to berate the guy. Ironically, it was just as he started to run laps, and snuck around the barricade, that the only errant throw of the day almost got him.
I've seen a couple of close ones in the pole vault, as have most of us, including a one that required the guy to be taken to the hospital.
I didn't see it, but Scott Hartman getting hit with a hammer in Lexington is the worst incident I've ever known about.
