Can't be too careful, I guess - this track and field judge named Lia Mara Lourenco was hit in a competition in Brazil. Brief after-the-fact Reuters news video is here (0:27):

Transported to hospital with the javelin still in the foot - I guess that's the right way to go, although you would really hope somebody could locate a hacksaw and at least make it shorter and less likely to lever right into nerve endings.
