Also, a metal can potentially have sharp edges that can cause a nasty injury even in relatively experienced hands. I own a couple of throws that I treat a little nicer than others for just that reason.

I also get that injuries can occur, even with supervision, when a throw is in the hands of someone inexperienced. I’ve seen enough of this firsthand for it to be an issue for me. To dismiss if offhand as “just a toy, nothing more” seems a bit cavalier to me. In reality, it’s a lump of plastic and/or metal, spinning at a high rate of speed, and can do you a real number if not treated with at least a modicum of respect.
