Why rabbis should wear harder hats

I'm not surprised that a rabbi suffered injury from a sweet thrown in synagogue for a simchah. What was once a gentle shower has become a hailstorm as the bimah comes under regular bombardment from teenagers who seem to be training for some new Olympic sport. It can't be long before health and safety rules require rabbis to wear cricket helmets for barmitzvahs.
