Ouch.

A man touring a Dutch castle died after he was hit with a 22-pound metal ball thrown by a competitor at the Open Highland Games.

East Brabant Police said the 65-year-old Geldrop local died Sunday, “after being hit by a metal ball in use at a sporting event.”

The man was touring the Geldrop Castle gardens in the southeastern Netherlands when the ball went over a wall and struck him, killing him instantly, The Sun reported.

“The pendulum dropped, we saw the ball go over the hedge and then we heard a woman screaming very loudly,” said one witness.

“It wasn’t a spectator … so he didn’t see the ball coming at all.”
