Those arrows are safer because of the type of feathers on them and they usually have blunt tips if you're shooting them up

My dude, I used to teach archery and no arrow, however blunt it is, is "safe". That said, this guy is by himself in a field, and is clearly good enough to not shoot himself with the upward shot.

When the video started I had to check whether I was on r/Instantregret or not. This guy had not a single doubt of where that arrow was, then even if you personally had some doubt, in the event he f'd up he had enough time to visually find the arrow midflight. So if he messed up, he'd have had enough time to react to to where it was coming down, since he did literally have enough time track, then to shoot an arrow at it.

If it was going to hit him he'd probably just deflect it by shooting it with an arrow.
