Do you get banned for life for throwing an axe badly? That feels like a thing that happens a lot at those places, it's not something you manage to do first try.

There's a beginner throw that maximizes blade-stickage and is unlikely to bounce back into your face, but you kinda look like a dork doing it, so I can see why they'd go with a full-strength pitch for an ad. You have to sign a release form before you can throw anything, and the range is usually set up to minimize bounceback (the one I visited used large, very damp tree trunk slices for targets). That said, they'd absolutely kick out someone who insisted on baseballing it if it kept bouncing back like that.

the one that I went to would probably have kicked a person out for kicking the axe up into their hand like that. The wild throw probably would have gotten them kicked out for the reason you saw in the gif. Dude's lucky he didn't catch the sharp part of the axe. At least he was trying to move out of the way.
Seems like a bad idea for an ad IMO. The last thing you want to hear from somebody with one too many drinks in them, an axe in hand, and a target is "I saw this on TV".

I mean, there's also the whole "not looking where you're throwing" thing.
The kick flip is one thing, but the throw itself isn't related to that. He wasn't throwing it without looking (unless he had his eyes closed). He does the kick, turns, then throws at what he's looking at. The bounce would have happened regardless or the kick.

An axe throwing range is a lot like a gun range. If you goof off in a gun range you get kicked the fuck out.
You should only get to throw axes if you show them the proper respect.
this gave me flashbacks to this afternoon when I saw a lady almost get flattened by a tree on a running trail! she was okay but she couldn't hear anyone yelling at her about the tree about to fall on her because she had airpods in! like the meme! it was fucked in real life!
airpods aren't even noise isolating, must have had the volume cranked to ear damaging levels
Have you ever been near someone exercising or taking public transit with headphones in? Yeah, things were probably cranked all the way up to shut out distractions.

So are they trained, or have the wires been CGI'd out?

this person was banned from this venue for life, yes?
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Pretty sure they work there and were filming an add for it.
I was gonna say, for some reason he looks like the kind of guy who work at/own an axe-throwing place. Whatever that means.
