Safety is important for all paintballers to remember and they need to wear the best gear possible for protection.

BRILLANT, also you should add a part about checkin for stuff on the ground in your feild and to check for nails and screws sticking out of bunkers.

well now that the thread is revived...

topherSPI if you read this thread anymore let alone visit the forum...a couple of jackasses won't ruin the sport. Think about baseball, how many people do you think knock down mailboxes or cause problems with baseball bats, or how Al Capone decapitated several people with a louisville slugger, and still baseball is america's favorite past time. Point being, paintball isn't going to be hurt by a few vandalisms

Yeah, but baseball has been huge since those forms of vandalism have existed. Plus, not nearly as many people in baseball are punks in comparison to those in paintball.

i know plenty of punks in baseball...it's the person not the sport

What are your views on these?


I see these on a few masks, many are only 1", some 2".

Are these dangerous in any way?

DarkTamer

Not really, they just make you look like a goth wannabe

But seriously, no I don't think they're dangerous on a mask, unless the player plans on head butting people or something.

i personally hate when you have a kid that is shot out during the game, and the game is still happening, and he takes his mask off! i know that all of you have seen these kids before. its so stupid. its hard for me not to yell at them.

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
