Actually, when you throw anything at someone's face, you run the risk of severe injury. Broken noses, cut lips, eye injuries...

Anything? Please. If that were the case, little kids would have a lot more broken noses and eye injuries than they do just from getting into pillow fights. I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, we didn't hold back swinging those pillows, and my nose is intact.

Secondly, we're talking about a pie here, not a baseball, hockey puck, or other heavy/hard object. Unless enclosed in a hard, heavy pan, a pie is just going to disintegrate on impact, and who would waste a good pan throwing it at someone? If your aim was to cause significant harm, there are far more effective options.

On a separate note, I think it's possible that your definition of "severe injury" may vary from many other people's; I just don't see a cut lip as being in that category, nor do I see how airborne baked goods could cause one. (Well, ok, maybe REALLY stale, dry bread... )
