Poor guy looked like he may have been seriously injured.

Wow! Lawsuits are just waiting to happen when the proverbial blind are leading the blind. Whoever set this up apparently can't be bothered to think about reasonable what-ifs, and the actual ax-thrower certainly didn't know any better. I am glad this was recorded, but even the camera-man should have known better... Contrary to modern group-think popular opinion, ignorance and negligence can be life-changing or even fatal.

Besides the fact that the guy cannot throw an ax, why were the drummers behind the target?? Clearly, this was poor planning.
