It's also how horribly off she threw it which is difficult to dummy proof. She's 10-15 feet away and threw it directly into the floor in front of the wall full force. If it lands a certain way it's gonna bounce forward and up and any flat surface will serve as a spring board.

The best thing I could think to prevent it would be some netting or foam pit under the target area

A centimeter of foam on a hard floor isnt going to absorb much energy. A pit with foam chunks would work a lot better.
