Short of obviously visible cracks, are these arrows at a significant risk for blowing up on me?
Arrow and draw length is good. No danger of over drawing past the rest. I never want a picture of an exploded carbon arrow buried in my hand :yike:

No stand.. Supposedly sliding down a hill and lost balance...
Gotcha. It just looked like he had some kind of harness in the picture so I just made the assumption. Interested to hear what went down.

I've seen several of these types of awful looking injuries including a couple where carbon arrows appeared to have shattered. It makes me wonder about my own arrows and their integrity after being struck in tight groups. I generally pick out a different dot on my target when shooting out to 30 yards. When I go to 40 I'm shooting to the center and sometimes arrows hit each other.

This is entirely a different situation. Look at the pictures again, it is his foot. He must have slipped and jammed it into his ankle.

Agreed that is is entirely different. It's just seeing this reminded me of previous pictures posted showing arrows through hands, some of them shattered. Made wonder you know. I'd rather be safe then sorry.
