saftey in mind when casting

[cast_and_catch]

just a few weeks ago me and some mates went fishing at a local venue in south wales ST DONATS and 1 of my mates had just snaped off he didnt tie shock leader back to his main line.

 

He had 30lbs main line and decided to do a pendulum cast with no shock leader pretty dull but there u go and has he just swung it round to cast it snaped off and hit me just below the wind pipe luckly it wasnt an inch higher or i would have been in trouble so it just managed to nock the wind out of me and left a cut and a scar

 

so guys safety is a must when casting pretty much a dull thing to say but that what mite happen
