There have been kids hit in the chest by an errant pitch and then drop dead on their way to first base. Freak accident, but it has happened.

I remember learning that if you get hit at *just* the right time (between? or during?) a single heartbeat, it can cause the heart to stop.

Not all sports involve ONLY throwing at a target. Many sports involve "throwing things" at your own team members. Furthermore, many schools teach archery as part of their phys ed class.

By your logic, sports must also be banned.
