[yahaMonster]

[97channel]

I appreciate that it's a serious accident, but OMG I laughed so hard at how that guy in the 149 shirt reacted. He's like.....

.....*la la la, lovely day, WOAH!!!! WTF??!!* XD

[sama31655]

[Scar666Ali]

[AZFlameThrower]

Foul.



[AZFlameThrower]

lol he missed all 3 black guys.. at least it wasn't a hate crime

[funnyflab]

this sound horrible but i laughed at 0:44 onwards! just cos he seem so calm about being stabbed in the back like that, more angry and hurt. also how everyone looked like they just didn't care when he's on his knees with it sticking out his back (epically the guy sitting on the bench. he just carried on sitting their watching the world go by

[joru100]

bahah always thought it was goofy to have people standing around like that and watching. losing your footing right before release isn't difficult to do.

[Horsemenjenson]

HOT DAMN

[arucardseito]

Safety is not a thing they care about in this sport...Starting by the judges that just stay in the throw hiting area...

This guy will be not jumping for a while.

[razehey]

at least he was safe. didnt hit his head. luck was on his side

[wanlop46]

javelin should be played on separate grounds!!!

[KevYuuuu]

holy shit

hes just like DUDE WHAT THE FUCK!

[what4617]

KMSL :) MAN IM GOING TO HELL 4 THIS

[TomatoKetchup5724]

[iBuckFush]

[herahaider]

poor inftrastructure for games

[tHeMoStwaNtEd421]

I Thought It Was Like A Modern Warfare 2 Javelin

[yangistan]

Well the guy isnt actually french anyway

[inneralpha]

Quick Fact: The liver is the only organ in your body that can regenerate itself.

[TP1R]

@inneralpha skin?

[forecasterboy]

lucky for him that it wasn't a headshot :D

[helpermethod]

July not August, sorry.

[helpermethod]

In 2007, August 13th was on Friday. Friday 13th though.

[lucubration808]

at least it was just a frenchie

[Syn4ev]

Why the fuck are those two guys sitting there staring at the guy screaming with a Javelin in his back??

[TheEverythingKing85]

"tyin ma shoe, safe from anythi-OH SHIT THAT HURTS"

[astral360]

Guy at 0:44 "Ooh what's tha--oh shit!"

[Willettes1]

@snq5555 died he did

[merkymoviejo]

thats intense..

[Estranged1337]

my shot coach showed this to me and the team, we all laughed

[boothesquirrel]

i just watched another javelin throw video and was wondering if people ever got hit, there was like 6 people right by it

[jaeser2]

takes it like a man

[pople0]

ooh that was fucked.

[DJBertz94]

what are the chances of being hit by a stray javelin lol

[MrPLOXPLOXPLOX]

any one know where i can get a javelin under 200$?

im 5''4 115lbs.

please ty.

[imreallytiredofthis]

Surfers say: never turn your back on the ocean. Track & fielders should never turn their backs on discus, hammer or javelin throwers.

[MasteroftheJustice]

modern achilles lol

[DunkableDave]

my kidneys feel weird now..

[jako4410]

Think of it! You could almost say that pitkamaki is the poor guy, because how must it not feel to have done that kind og stuff?? Even when it's an accident?!

[grako76]

he ll feel that in the mornin

[lordofthenachos]

poor guy

[deejaylaw43]

i kno that theres danger out on every event but why did every1 just sit there like wow they did nthn but watch !

[m0nar0cv8z03]

your a fucking tool, do you think they would just stand in the crowd, your a dumb arse ConcreteColoursTV!! and did you ever think that there at a pro event and most people wouldn't think they could get it wrong, you dumb arse !!

[ConcreteColoursTV]

Hey lets all stand where the guy throws sharp spears, fkin idiots

[Evilbrick123]

Ouch!

[dounotica]

[elekid22]

[Keekkoonen]

[popopopopopopdsdfsdf]

[tukenuge]

SALINSAIDIRI!!! oeoeoeoe

[Aarontlondon]

[Saurim0]

pitkamaki! you animal you...

[ritariassa1]

aika tarkka keihästys oli

[iamcrazi]

Damn, I hate it when that happens to me....really annoying.

[MrDidHeDie]

Did He Die

[JavPro13]

no, I believe it was like a couple centimeters off his kidney, and another vital organ, so he was very lucky!

[0Griffinhawk0]

Nice throw!

[Kenny23jump]

this is sparta!!! Pwnage

[david959100]

the great javelin creators are proud of u

[Milawalkie]

well either that hurt like taking the biggest crap ever or it was fixed

[hardcoreyouser]

that one runner, number 149 looks like hes about to clap for him.

[eXaCtAcT]

well thats what javelins were made for. you made our ancestors proud :X

[grenade0wnyou]

fuckin apocolypto there

[2KblkGTP]

The best is when I'm in mid throw and idiot runners jog across the field without looking...causing me to shit my pants

[cyberkid125]

very freaky!

[Archantis]

HAHAAH that made me laugh.... i'm kinda sick

[horselvr1010]

Definite few seconds of ZOMG before impaled by a javelin. Poor guy.

[PasseXD]

damn =/ BUT THIS IS SPARTA

[Oppp2]

lmfao

[Aze876]

Ouch....

[FrozenFlame333]

why the heck was the javelin event so close to the long jump??

[MikeHurdler08]

nah, why is the long jump going on the same time as the jav?

[edmatuk]

And will happen again with javelin with disc and hammer.These sports must be separated fromm all the others,but this is just my opinion

[rorywelsh93]

lol THIS IS SPARTA!

[SmotPoker09]

@rorywelsh93

lmao

[naksdee]

hehe, it was friday the 13th

[will1lfc]

thats when you know your having a bad day..

[Jhonka2323]

That would suck...

[Rachelicka]

oucccchhhhh!!!

[kevincabo55]

this is very stupid

[tomdabom713]

o fuk

[rensephoz2]

too bad things like this make people say javelin doesn't belong in a stadium...because it's a great sport and it deserves to be watched by that many people. just get out of the way or at least look at the javelin

[Ultimatenshi]

Man I wish I was the one throwing the lance, at my last (in)significant other... I mean not to de-sensitize it and all but how often u get the chance to puncture someone and not be arrested... close to none in these days...

[rensephoz2]

hahaha so true

[deanh1978]

FACT: this guy trained the actors for "300"

[Marth1993]

I may sound evil for saying this, and trust me, I feel bad for hte guy and I think tis a senseless accident, but doesn't the situation seem hilarious to you? I mean of all the random things that can happen to a person during the day, getting harpooned through the liver with a javelin seems pretty damn bizarre.

[Sturmfallos]

no, i don't find it very hilarious.

[Marth1993]

I'm not saying VERY hilarious, just unbelievably improbable...

[FractalZero]

Probability does not equate to hilarity you moron.

[soawesome]

so why the hell were there people sitting downfield of the javelins???

[BelieverXx]

Yeah i agree, it's a bit stupid.

And tbh their own fault, i know the javelin was quite wide but they should've know better.

[gibbo154]

its pretty unsafe really. unfortunately due to the nature of how many events need to be completed, events need to all be going on at the same time. and even more unfortunately, javelin throwers are getting better and better and its less and less safe for all the events to be on the same field. hopefully nothing worse than that happens =S

[livardo]

Javelpwnd

[KossunKaataja]

shame on you pitkämäki, shame on you.

[olitomas]

Fuck you, it not like he wanted this. You fucking retard

[GRICHENG]

k wtf is wrong with you

why would people be walking around the field where javelins are being thrown around, they should clear the field while these are going on

and you think he meant to do it?

[Murali11]

the look on the guys face tell its all . Imagine just looking back and seeing a javeling protruding from your body LOLx2!!!

[colonet]

This is madness!

Madness?

THIS IS SPARTA!

*hits guy*

OWEND

[spazman43]

rofl

[thomashamiltom]

OWNED

[lissudaapissis]

oh damn...

[pake321]

that competition was badly organized, they even admitted it.

[wakeinthecity9]

that guy has bad aim, he couldnt even hit a whole field.

...or really good aim.

[Powerofthecowboy]

well thankfully it is very, very hard to badly injure someone with todays javelins.

[santeenl]

uhm?? if i trow a javelin on someone's chest, he might die? Salim Sdiria was just very lucky he's didnt got hit in his longs/head etc.

[Losuol]

lmao great aim there .. idiot

[santeenl]

you try to aim better if you trow over 90m. They are just stupid to put a long jump thing 5m next to the field...

[Losuol]

lmao truethat.

[psyentist420]

yep thats what they were designed to do in the first place

[kevinthygreat]

Its true, they just kind of became a competition, they were made and meant to kill

[BIGMACdAddy429]

well if you thing about it if the javelin had not been out of sector and the high jumper woulda gone running or sumthin then they would had to cournt it youe know

[goldenhammer92]

omg...

[KnivesX812]

That's like friggin Achilles or something man

[ELITESWORDSMEN]

lol oyur right

[rexona2412]

haha u sucker stupid as bread is say fuck all the stupids kids!!!!

[machinemen165]

oohhh man, that's awful

[JonasRH]

Impressive aiming.

[youngwidow2007]

did the thrower go to jail?

[michael22414]

you're an idiot, it was an accident and u should never turn ur back to javelin/discus/hammer throws for a freaking reason

[Powerofthecowboy]

"did the thrower go to jail?" dont be an idiot lol

[SaunaFinland]

No, he won the world championship!

[rascal14]

he's lucky its not his fucking head........so damn close

[sam3d]

Those look like banderillas on the toro.

LOL

[Giovani22]

he got speared like buffalo

[cerecentino]

ako ay isang thrower din sana maiwasan ang mga accidente..dahil hindi natin alam kong kailan at kong saan ito mangyari d vah

[deee1979]

did that fella sleep with his wife or something?

[Pipari665]

Was thinking the same :D, hold her arms so no1 could see that he laughed his ass off :D

[chuckshissle]

That's one way of getting rid of the competition. Hope the other guy is doing okay now.

[Fistwagon]

Just a reminder what throwin' a fucking javelin is all about baby!!!

[kiwiONE71]

well ain't that a bitch huh. guy is lucky it didn't drilled his head through

[platimbergz]

Punctured, ouch...

[efsq]

FUCK

imagine beeing in that situation

you're just sitting there streching or something, and then you get PIERCED BY A FUCKING JAVELIN

[Hayha1]

Yeah!!

And the thrower is the champion, who's throws flies with High speed..Damn...PAIN PAIN PAIN.

[HawKx1x1x1x2]

dude...that sucks >.<

[Ruitaish40]

taking it out would be helpful

[yayaset2k7]

y were the people that were rite there not doin nothin and just lookin?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Stantzs]

um, gee, i dunno, maybe its cause the average person has no idea as to what the fuck to do when someone has a five foot spear sticking out of them.

[Aaberg123]

because they will probably do more damage than good trying to get it out. It's really not that hard to figure out.

[PureSkillzNoTalent]

howcome it's always the french guy that gets hurt? :(

[prezerver]

its happening

[alinktothefuture]

javelin doing what it was designed to do.

[Patriootti]

Finnish javelin man Tero Pitkämäki is very great dude but this was bad bad accident. :(

[vonlarrad]

I know its called the hammer throw only probably because I do track and field.

[neofreed0m]

Wait........those guys who were just watching him didn't do anything???????

[jakke1975]

I'd like to see the speed of your reaction in such situation... first those people had to overcome their disbelief and shock. It seems to me they were concentrating on something else, not everybody was javelin

[neofreed0m]

Well at least go over there to see if he was ok.........did u see that guy who was sitting down near him, he didn't seem to react at all.

[pimpsoldier0]

lmao. i like that event in which they swing big metal balls with chains event idk what its called. lol

[eckzr]

good aim

[onkelonken]

LOL Read all Hary Potters or die... Go away, morons !!!

[YuukaYagami]

Aaaaauuugh

Javelin in the back!! D:

[Kadinkski]

triple jump is a waste of time anyway...i mean wtf is the point? They should do that to all triple jumpers. Mind you, throwing a javelin isn't much better. Can't these guys do proper sports or something?

[xjsbunky]

like curling or spastic gymnastics? I mean rythmic.

[playerog44]

fuck man its horrible

[Gameskid]

ouch lol?

[jddtjtdt]

omfg thats terrilbe

[GKrizzel]

I hate javelin throwers. I almost got hurt by one myself

[garicmidknight]

nice toss!

[bobtheneighbor]

it's killin me

[Shotgunhavoc]

Someone just almost got killed and some bastards are just joking and advertising their profile here. Fucking bastards.

[mattythej]

the heartless bastards on this comment list?! SHAME

poor dude was just standing there
