Robin hooding previously thrown darts is a minor hazard in the game, and the modern dart has evolved over the decades to account for this minor occurrence. Flights are replaceable, stems are replaceable, barrels are tapered to deflect incoming points, heck, even points are replaceable.
Nonetheless it happens, and when it does, it is almost always the incoming dart sticking into the stem or the center point of the flight. Rarely do you see one of these:
In fact, I never have. This dart embedded itself between the layers of the flight mid-wing. The amazing thing is that the Dimplex flight was stiff enough to stop **and hold** the incoming dart. I would have expected the dart to continue on through ruining the flight and eventually ending up on the floor or somewhere low on the board.
When I pulled the dart out, the flight was okay. I squeezed the wing back together with my fingers and it is like it never happened. Go figure.
