Anyone built anything where you put in frisbees and (unintentionally) shoot out shards?
Breaking frisbees is probably mostly from wheels that don't conform to the contours of the frisbee or there is too much compression. I think the setups our students made are pretty safe as the wheels are relatively squishy.

Either way, we'll cross our fingers and hope no students "shoot their eye out."
