Do you think paintball is a dangerous sport

[la690]

potentially yes
statistically no
In reality, if the people playing actually know what they're doing then it is safe.

I agree. The though of using the little "bombs" we call tanks can make me nervous sometimes. It does not stop me from playing and having 3 in my house.

is it dangerous no...

more people were seriously injuried or killed last year in football than in the entire history of paintball to my knowledge...

can some idiot make it dangerous...yes they can but then again that same dumbass behind the wheel of a car is deadly...

the big thing that scares people is how serously masks are stressed..sometimes if i have a dumb crowd i tell them that the ball can push their eyeball up into their brain and then they are dead.. has it ever happened no...can it happen probably not..does it keep them from taking their masks off?? for the most part.

Think about it, Mask is all you need to play for protection, Now look at football you need a redicilous amout of padding, and some extra areas is even your preferance. How about baseball, I mean atleast in paintball you run away from the ball itsdead of into it trying to catch it.

Besides I get injured mostly from landing after I slid into the ground, a paintball has never harmed me at all. Like a small tiny bruse is something to dwell on while mean tip people are litterly falling into pieces as we speak playing so called mor civilized sports.

...paintball is safer than

football
basketball
baseball
taking a bath
...and jogging...

(wierd huh?)

And don't forget bowling too... Let's face it I'd rather have a paintball fall on my foot than a bowling ball
