Abstract
In brief Three case studies describe potentially life-threatening injuries associated with javelin throwing. Although overuse, biomechanical, or stress-related musculoskeletal disorders are more typical of javelin-related injuries, serious penetrating wounds do occur. Observing safety precautions can help prevent javelin impalement; careful on-field management can help contain those injuries that do occur.
