    Our junior high school's art teacher was gathering results from an event when a wayward discus from another event was released about a half hour off target and struck him directly in his mouth. His recovery was long with multiple surgeries.
    The netting looks like a great option especially when accuracy has yet to meet all of the athletes.

    Interesting project. There is a top from Malaysia/SE Asia called a Gasing, and a couple of other variations of spellings. It has a metal ring around the outside rim, and about the same size as the discus you made. Add a central axle and the rope they use to toss them. They spin for several minutes in bare dirt. I have been pondering making one for some time. Most are not as high tech as your discus.
