This is not the fault of the Javelin thrower, it is the fault of the Olympic regulation committee who saw no problem letting people stand around down range of people throwing metal spears.
It was a mistake on pitkamaki's part. One accident doesn't mean the whole sport should be banned. That's like saying football (soccer) should be banned every time someone breaks their leg
+TXV1300R no it would be like if the ref in Soccer was standing on the field and got a concussion, so they put in a rule saying the Ref has to be off the field during play.
The thing is the hospital that he was sent to was two miles away from the stadium and that was where the javelin was removed so the guy who threw it got a distance of 2 miles and 85 meters
A Roman emperor, Julian the apostate was killed by a military javelin as well. Just like this accident the javelin penetrated his lungs and liver, he died 3 days later due to his injuries
@@azynkron he would've been a leader of a legion or however it works. 1. Would've by far have been the best javelin thrower 2. People 175cm and above were already considered candidtes to be leaders and Tero is 195cm.
For this to have happened, it takes stupidity from both the tournament organizers and the athletes. Letting athletes be there while people are throwing, is obviously dumb. Being down range and not paying attention, again, pretty obviously dumb XD
Guy beside Salim: Emm Salim? Did you know there's a javelin sticking out of your back? Salim: What? What are you tal.......OHHHHH MY GODDD!!! ARHHHHH!!! HOLY FUCKK!!!! WHYYY GODD! WHYY!!!! Guy beside Salim: Told you.
bloody hell! thats quite the sports injury, going to hospital with a javalin impaled in the shoulder! mind you that was a extremely good distence, that had to be at least 70! give that guy a gold medal!
"Ok, in our layout for this event, we've set it up so that the rest area is downrange of the Javelin Throw.""Isn't that a little ddangerour?""Naw, these guys are pro's. They'll keep it in the cone."
Medicine men (or what ever they are) came there quickly, Tero would only had been in a way. And of course you can now many many months later say, what you would had done. Tero was in shock.
This is not the fault of the Javelin thrower,

S CW I agree with you, but it's not Olympic regulation comittee's fault because this isn't the Olympics but the Golden League.
Captain Alien o good pt

steel16880 Referee has to be on the field. Other people dont have to be on the area where the javelin could possibly land
The thing is the hospital that he was sent to was two miles away from the stadium and that was where the javelin was removed so the guy who threw it got a distance of 2 miles and 85 meters
pretty sure thats a PB.
Haha
You clearly see the javelin lying on the ground...
Hahaha it crazy
dude, you made my day
Finland has the best snipers.
simo häyhä
So typical this happened in Rome
Holy shit. The way that the spear wiggled back and forth in his body! OUCH!
You don't want to laugh at what happened to the poor guy, but the look on his face of "What the hell is THIS on my back???" is almost hilarious.
wtf is ds😂😂
@@dollyvanderpee900Don't just laugh, his liver and right kidney got penetrated by the spear.
This is the reason I decided not to the join the U.S. javelin catching team.
Just remember, javelin was weapon in history...who knows how many people died from it
Lol I don't think many people forgot that a sharpened stick can be a weapon...
A Roman emperor, Julian the apostate was killed by a military javelin as well.
Just like this accident the javelin penetrated his lungs and liver, he died 3 days later due to his injuries
Sdir has returned to compete jumping as a professional. Good for him!
He has a bloodlust now unfortunately, and has been fined for repeatedly hurling the javelins into the crowd.
@@MrTangent so he is a berserker now then
this is pretty traumatic not only for the the victim but for the javelin thrower too tbh
It was a pretty nasty injury, javelin penetrated 10 centimeters, damaged liver and kidneys. A bad day at the track.
he in a way got lucky , could have ben spinal cord or whatever
great shot!!!! would of made a great soldier in the roman legion
i wasn't expecting that comment at all
*Would have...
*would _have_ made a great soldier in _A_ Roman legion. A legion was a unit in the Roman army.
When talking about a spear as a weapon, this is probably the most outstanding javelin throw in history.
@@azynkron he would've been a leader of a legion or however it works. 1. Would've by far have been the best javelin thrower 2. People 175cm and above were already considered candidtes to be leaders and Tero is 195cm.
THIS IS SPARTA!
Mutta eipä oo onneks! Nääi!
NIH!
3:00 Dafuq is this javelin doing in my back?
'Dayum. Feels like back in prison.'
Never run from Spartacus.
Is the 2 minutes of running necessary for this video ?
Well the commentators know about what happened already and talk about it during the running.
I thought one of the runners was going to get it
Yes
That was an amazing shot, deserved points for accuracy.
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took a javelin to my back
Wonder if he gave him a hallmark card afterwards
"Sorry I speared you" lol
No wonder javelins were actual weapons. Beside being effective, Imagine the chaos when soldiers saw other people getting impaired with those things 😭😱
Ooh, that's going to leave a mark.
Quite some years back, an official took one to the chest. He lived. When it stuck him, he yanked it out and dropped it, " that's the official mark!"
Such unfortunate. Much tragedy.
I know this is a sad thing but Tero must be damn good hunter, over 50 m away and straight in the liver and kidneys :D
Am I the only one who finds it funny that the event was sponsored by kinder?
Haha!! I thought the same thing, no idea why but it cracked me up!!
I don't get it
kinder......SURPRISE!!!!!!
Why the hell is an emergency ice cream van called in?
your ice cream van looks like that? What do they sell drugs?
@@juuk3103 Ice cream vans selling drugs? Glasgow Ice Cream Wars!
*THIS... IS... SPARTA!!!*
That has to be the fattest ambulance driver in the world, yikes.
Now what would have made this even better is if Tero screamed "This. Is. SPARTA!!!" as he threw the javelin.
For this to have happened, it takes stupidity from both the tournament organizers and the athletes. Letting athletes be there while people are throwing, is obviously dumb. Being down range and not paying attention, again, pretty obviously dumb XD
Please, please, take a seat on the field where the big men are chucking spears towards you. The invisible wall will protect you. No need to worry.
That had to rank pretty high on the list of things he didn’t expect to happen that day. Ouch!
He's the world champion in javelin throwing......
i was expecting a unit of praetorians to come charging in shortly after
Guy beside Salim: Emm Salim? Did you know there's a javelin sticking out of your back?
Salim: What? What are you tal.......OHHHHH MY GODDD!!! ARHHHHH!!! HOLY FUCKK!!!! WHYYY GODD! WHYY!!!!
Guy beside Salim: Told you.
Anyone got a time stamp? Been trying to find it for four years.
I can't think about many things that would hurt more like that...seriously..that speed on the javelin and all...
näytti pojat siltä että ei hyvältä näyttäny
If he meant that, it was a fucking SENSATIONAL shot.
The IOC has just announced a new Olympic event: The Javelin Catch. Now that is one event I will definitely watch with great interest!
bloody hell! thats quite the sports injury, going to hospital with a javalin impaled in the shoulder!
mind you that was a extremely good distence, that had to be at least 70! give that guy a gold medal!
the javelin is a weapon
The javelin aim explains the clean toilet bowl and yellow discoloration at the base of it
"Ok, in our layout for this event, we've set it up so that the rest area is downrange of the Javelin Throw.""Isn't that a little ddangerour?""Naw, these guys are pro's. They'll keep it in the cone."
I sure hope the Javelin is okay
The comment section of this video deserves a gold medal.
Gives "ownd" a total new meaning
Nidalee men edition
Kimmo Laajoki +1 for the LoL reference
The ambulance driver looks like the Kool Aid man as he steps out.
at hte same time the long jump (or triple jump) event took place...
he was one of the participants...
Understanding that many high schools still don't have the javelin throw as an event.
the olympics made me remeber this...
Forget arrow to the knee. That is javelin to the back
3:49
Reminds me of the scene from Apocalypse Now where the boat-driver gets killed.
"....A spear?"
The most exiting thing ever happened in sports.
blue flower, red thorns
that ambulance looks like an icecream van lol
future olympic game, "how fast can you run from a javelin!" :)
Mark Nutt is a master of all sports.
new world record for the javelin, it whent 3k all the way to the hospital
Javelin is such a great event
-**Näkee hidastettuna kun keihäs uppoo äijän kylkee**
-”toivottavasti mitään ei sattunut” 😂😂
RIP
Daaaaaaaaammmmmmmn.
Good video!
anyone else notice in the first 1:30 of the video when the women race they form a flying V. lol, awesome! As for the javelin.... ouch.
also i forgot to say, the guy throwing the javelin was sponsored by KINDER, yet it was the other guy who the SURPRISE!
like a warrior.
he came Salim Sdir meters
anyone get a measurement on that throw?
which is why the javelin was a very effective weapon.
Well,everything is good,this guy showed the real purpose of the javelin.
He actually thought it was his maw-in -laws bad meatloaf coming back up!! Boy was he wrong, it was a Damn spear.
Our grandfather passed away in war because it
This is Spartaaa!
Some people take an arrow to the knee, other just prefer a spear in their back.
Anyone else lol when the commentator for the race at the beginning was like "hdiwoqonchik DUUU DUU fhrisofngho!!!
lol the ambulance looks like a ice cream van lol
Ikävä juttu ja miten voi 10m heittää sektorista ohi ?
Night King strikes again
I bet the guy who got impaled was just standing there like "haha he couldn't throw that this far........ oh fuck"
He Survived
perfect camera angle at 0:06
No film by the throw?
You'll never find it, they ate it.
I give you, The Human Kabab
Poor Salim, but poor Pitkämäki :(
yeah.. you're right...
it was bad organized...
i throw javelin too and i can imagine that its really painful... °-°
Aaand here we goo!
@H1el Mitähän tarkotat? Kyl tätä jenkeissäkin on katottu, eikä ne paljoo suomee ymmärrä
He gaffed it up on this one
Any1 else noticed how nice view there was at 0:04-0:13? xD
creep
Even though they linked this, this is not the video Gus was talking about. I saw the one he is talking about but I can't find it now.
awesome
Medicine men (or what ever they are) came there quickly, Tero would only had been in a way. And of course you can now many many months later say, what you would had done. Tero was in shock.
i better start behaving before god decides to make someone throw a javelin at me aswell. Lol
that's one FAT ambulance/paramedic driver!
Huh!"
RT Podcast brought me here!!!!!!
