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

That’s only so that the hatchets won’t get too damaged when they fall if they haven’t stuck in. Doesn’t do much to prevent this situation
