I have been known to throw machetes. The secret to throwing a Latin pattern machete it to turn it around in your hand so the edge is facing towards you like you were going to chop with the spine. This puts the swept point rotating forwards and the blade will stick better.
Nothing really to add on technique, I use the same for throwing hatchets or machetes.
SAFETY WARNING - If you are going to attempt to throw a machete keep in mind that they are basically a sharpened leaf spring. A machete that misses can rebound very far and in unpredictable directions. People standing off to the side are NOT safe. You need to treat the range as if you are shooting handguns, everyone must be behind the line of fire.
