I did it this past fall with the president of Middlebury College.
He saw one in my office and was like, what's that?
And I told him what it was.
He's like, can I try?
I'm like, yeah, sure.
He's like, okay, we'll try this.
And so somewhere there's an Instagram post of the Middlebury president with me and him throwing spears and stuff.
He decided he wanted to post it all.
And I learned, you know, looking at it, it's one of those things that it's really fun.
I take the points off so that nobody, like, gets hurt, you know, like that, you know.
I don't need lawsuits and things.
It flies about the speed of a Frisbee, roughly.
On a level open field or something like that, it's pretty easy to dodge.
Like it's not, you see it coming and so you can just step out of the way.
It's not so hard, right?
And so he wasn't in any danger, but at one point he wanted to go out onto the field and like, you know, go pick up some of the spears and things.
And he didn't mind if the students throw it, right?
And I'm like, no, no, no, don't do it.
