Well since safety is the goal here, I think that its much too dangerous to play any sport in an open field. Forget the carbon splinters,

YOU COULD GET HIT BY LIGHTNING.

So I think for safety sake playing in an open field should be banned.

When little Johnny goes out on Saturday morning to play soccer and gets a 6" carbon shard jammed into his thigh, who do you think mom is going to sue??? It certainly won't be the schmuck that lost the arrow. It's going to be the field owner.

Just curious but I never noticed that carbon arrows were dangeous splintering deathsticks, in fact they are pretty darn hard to break. I have also never seen a carbon arrow attack anyone or spring from a hidding place beneath the ground.

Little Johnny could also trip over a dirt clod or his own feet and break his leg playing soccer, Rugby is a damn dangerous sport where folks get broken bones and knocked out teeth all the time, part of the fun I hear from its devotees.

Wooden arrows must be banned as well since they could splinter and impale little Johnny. Then there is that pesky lightning.

I think wittle Jonny should just stay inside and play video games or watch the telly much safer that way.

BTW in England they don't have a tort lawyer every 8" like we do here in the US, and many public places like playing fields are exempt from liability, sovereign immunity its called. Medical care is socialized so the state doctor will be removing the shard or setting the broken leg, or knocked out tooth.

My guess is that the carbon arrow has been associated with evil assault compound HUNTING bows that NO HONEST MAN NEEDS SINCE THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DEAL DEATH TO INNOCENT FURRY CREATURES, and have high capacity magazine quivers. Oh and they can be spray fired from the hip, and can go through the metal detectors at Heathrow and be used to hijack planes.

The UK has banned gun ownership (except rare cases and royal shotguns). They have banned self defense, and they are looking to ban pointy things like arrows and knives. The strategy is to get the camels nose under the tent so carbon arrows are first, and aluminium and pointy sticks will follow.
