First, she's got almost no distance. She's not throwing very far.
Second - amazing discipline - she very carefully sets up and looks at the spot she's aiming at. Point is, she never looks at her daughter. She's really good at hitting whatever she focuses on - so she never focuses on her daughter, and so doesn't hit her.
All in all it's actually much less risky than it looks - which is of course the idea. Biggest risk is from a bouncing knife, which you see almost happen.
She probably put in quite a few hours with a chalk outline. Hardest part is to not look at your child as you throw the knife - that takes some real understanding and then some intense discipline.
LMAO florrie!

Hmmm...hope this doesn't trigger repressed memories, LOL!
Mom's technique is awesome.
