One problem is when shooters miss the backstop, the bullet tends to do wild and unpredictable things. 

Ain't it the truth. You can predict what a bullet will do 98% of the time when shot at an angled hard target but when it gets smashed up and is spinning wildly, it can have a curve that Sandy Koufax would drool over.

Last piece of lead I got hit with was watching a Winter Range cowboy shoot about 2 yrs ago - caught some spatter in the cheek. There's a reason they have signs that require eye protection beyond a certain point!

I got hit in the leg with a ricochet of mine. I was shooting my Jennings .22 at a swinging target made for centerfire pistols. It didn't have enough oomph to spin the target.
