QFT, i dunno how many times that's happened to me, once I was about to bunker-run a good friend of mine, little did I know he had "called time out" and had his mask off....that was a backyard game, too, could have ended very, very badly.

Safety cannot, and I mean CANNOT, be stressed enough in a sport such as this. If paintball is to survive, it has to keep the numbers low (as, thankfully, it has) over the years to keep the nutjobs who think paintball is an "extremely dangerous war simulation" from having anything to brag about. Thankfully, all the ref's I've seen/heard at my local fields do not tolerate any kind of safety hazards (walking around w/o barrel plugs in the markers, firing a marker in any area that is not considered "hot" (ie, chrono stations, game fields during a game), being in a hot zone without a full mask). I don't have it in my bookmarks anymore, but there was a site out there that showed paintball being safer than even bowling, as far as injuries per year are concerned. Let's keep it that way

I don't understand why churches and 'family groups' spend millions of dollars a year on abstinence-only instruction when a World of Warcraft account only costs fifteen dollars a month and has a much better record of ensuring virginity.
