unthrowable

Impossible to hurl

Unthrowable describes something that cannot be thrown, whether due to its weight, shape, or attachment to something else: The boulder was unthrowable by any human.

The word also applies figuratively to games or competitions that cannot be deliberately lost: With so many eyes on the match, it was essentially unthrowable.
