And threw one that landed and slid across the track! Very dangerous.
I think if you throw an implement onto the track, or far enough outside the legal zone, you should be DQ’d then and there. It’s just so dangerous. Sprinters are certainly DQ’d for less.
No one can guarantee that running dozens of throwers through that no one will slip or lose grip or whatever. That's the the job of the tall netting around the discus circle. It should be set up to block all the angles that would be dangerous, but obviously it wasn't sufficient to cover all those angles. I'd blame the setup of those nets.
