Graduate hat throwing could hurt

"University administrators were accused yesterday of overreacting after asking students not to throw mortarboards in the air at this year's graduation ceremonies. Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and Chelmsford warned that the medieval-style cap could be a health hazard."

From the university's website:

"It is requested that graduands do not throw the hat up into the air, as this not only causes damage to the hats, but can also cause injury if the corner of the hat hits the graduand or others who may be nearby."

 

YEAH!
