Soft Tomahawk Axe Throwing Risk Assessment — Learning Through Safe Target Fun

Soft tomahawk axe throwing might sound adventurous — and it is — but with our careful planning it’s also completely safe. This risk assessment allows us to introduce a fun target sport while keeping wellbeing first.

We prepare for:

• Stray throws — supervision at all times, controlled ranges and clear safety lines

• Collecting axes — strict routines, no running, approaching from the side only

• Technique — teaching safe throwing methods and correcting mistakes quickly

• Trip hazards — tidy ranges, tied laces and clear walkways

• Equipment care — regular checks, repairs and locked storage when not in use

By combining structure and supervision with fun, soft tomahawk sessions give young people the chance to try something new in a safe, confidence-building way.
