Catching boomerangs should just be automatic, with no possibility of getting hit by your own boomerang. The reason is because nobody ever gets hit because they decided that something else was more important than catching the boomerang right then. Everybody gets hit for 1 of 2 reasons:

1. They didn't know that you have to hold the space bar to catch it. They just assumed it would be automatic, because that's how it is in absolutely every single popular video game with boomerangs.

2. They held the space bar, and did it at the right time, but still got hit anyway because there was an item or resource nearby, and picking stuff up stupidly takes precedence over catching the boomerang.
