Why are you playing outdoors? You're not talking about yard darts are you? Or are outdoor darts different from regular darts (with rounds of cricket and the various *01 games)?

Even if you are totally blitzed, where's the good chance of seriously injuring yourself? It's just you throwing a pointy thing away from you. You don't throw the thing straight up. You don't chuck it into your foot.

Others in chat were under the impression that you could be hit by someone else's errant dart. Even if you do get hit by someone else's dart, you weren't *playing* at that time.
