The University of East Anglia has banned graduates from throwing mortarboards in the air for safety reasons.
UEA suggests instead that students mime the act of throwing and digitally include hats afterwards.

TCW notes that student life is not without its ups and downs. But being felled by an errant mortarboard is not too high on the list of undergraduate hazards.
