Can anyone with biathlon experience explain what safety procedures are in place during events? It looks like competitors carrying rifles in slings bend double in fatigue and as part of skiiing technique, fall down in the snow, sometimes load extra bullets and are often in oxygen debt. How does no one get shot accidentally in this sport? I've heard of people getting hit with thrown javelins but never of anyone getting shot in biathlon...
