Safety is the most important thing no matter where we are. Whether while driving, walking, studying, leisure, playing and even sports. When playing sports, the main aspect that is always emphasized must be about safety. This is to prevent any injuries and problems that will occur. So, today I will share the basic safety for javelin throw during training.

·     1️⃣ When working in a group, Javelin must all be thrown, before all are collected.

       

      2️⃣ Always walk whilst collecting and returning javelin.



·       3️⃣ Place thumb over blunt end, lever javelin to vertical position. Remove from ground.

·       4️⃣ Carry it in a vertical position



·       5️⃣ NEVER throw back towards your throwing position.

·       6️⃣ Remember, both ends of Javelin can kill. The ‘blunt’ end is still sharp enough to stick into someone.
