If you don't look up, how do you know if the toss is straight? How do you know if the toss reached it's highest point before a jumper tipped it with 2 hands? To me, you have to look up. If somethings wrong, you're right there to see it and you always have the option to re-toss your own toss.
Don't worry about getting hit by a jumper. Worry about getting your toss right, straight and high enough. The whistle should not be in your mouth. Last thing, be observant as you toss. If you see something coming at you, elbow, foot, wild swinging arm, get your hand up and protect yourself. With the boys/men, separate them a bit at the circle. They do not need to be right up against each other for your toss. That space in between is for you and it will help keep them from contacting you with a body part when you release the ball to start the jump.
