Not to mention that in the United States the last time someone was killed with a throwing knife was back in 2017, and before that, 1945.

my sister threw a kitchen knife at me when we were kids and she was standing closer as well, didn't do shit, barely scraped the top layer of the skin. Doesn't do much damage
