Your worst paintball injury

[JoshK]

One year (oh not my accident but a good one) at Craig Village, this guy was running away from the other team through a building. He was looking over his shoulder and firing, never saw the concrete wall comign at him.

Right as he turned to look forward he hit the wall. Basically the paramedic said he tore all his face and right side of his skin off his skull. He didn't like rip anything or bleed bad, just all the parts gluing it to his skull broke loose.

He had to get reconstructed/plastice surgery.

Last I heard he still plays to, think he was at the last Craig Village, just does not go into the buildings any!!

Didnt he have his mask on?

Well...worst i have been injured was getting shot in the hand from 5-10 feet. I got shot point blank in the chest 3 times first time i played...but those just left welts.

I think that my latest surgery is related to a paintball injury. But I can't be 100% sure. I mean, the injury itself was in 1999. But if it WAS related, then umm... yeah, disk herniation bad.

Woodsball, starting on the low end of a hill. I claimed I was gonna make the log bunker halfway up the hill and I made one heluva start. Crossed the 4" wide trickle of water, flew up the hill towards the bunker while dodging between trees. I tripped on a tree-root at full speed and landed face-down spreadeagle on one of the hardest rocks in the state. Cracked two ribs and made breathing difficult for a couple weeks but I heal well.
Funny part was coming home. While unpacking the truck, one of the neighbors sees the bodywrap and asks about it. I tell him I cracked two ribs playing paintball. He looks at me in horror and asks:
"They hit that hard?"

oh oh oh me next....I have 2 small ones.

First One:
one time while playing some speedball with my teamamte 1v1 off the break I made a mad dash for the 50 while firing and neglected to see the giant metal I-Beam supporting the roof by the time I noticed it I was plowing into it head first blacked out for a few seconds all the time this was hapening my teamate dident know what had happend due to me supressing him behind a bunker so as I lay there he runs up and bunkers me. I ended up with my knee swollen and black and a bad headache.

Second One:
this happend a few weeks after the first one I mentioned me and another team mate were scriming 1v1 and he put me behind my bunker with his vike as I got up to run accross to the 50 he ran about 8 feet in front of me laying a rope needless to say I ran headlong into a stream of p8nt every shot hitting my knee right where I had smacked it on the pole only a few weeks earlyer I lost all feeling fromt the knee down for like 24 hours and my knee again turned like a big black welt now I have alot of badass scars on my knee.

Oh BTW I play in shorts no knee pads, pants and knee pads get in the way.

That was the funiest thing I read in a while. Tahnks for the laugh.

i didnt mention it before, but ive been shot literally point blank in the neck before. happend during a practice dive, barrel condom was on. during the dive, the condom somehow came off, the gun slipped outta my hand spun, got me once in the neck, and once in the shoulder.(shows just how lite the pull of a ult can be, finger didnt even touch it :) )

See this why you treat your mags with care. Cause they can punish you for disrepect.

I have see a guy get stabbed by a stake. It was weird. He is a big guy and he was running around a bunker and got tripped up on the bungies. And he pulled up the stake, it flew in front of him and he fell on it.
It wasnt deep or hit anything vital, it got him on one of his many side rolls. but still he got stabbed.

at least he did not get shot in the balls.

[Mr. Mouse]

that should be like a official rule #1 of paintball, no shooting in the groin area at all, no one likes it done to them and can only result in major pain

[penguinpunk555]

Tip of my Dingaling got shot...

[codeman35]

I was in a bunker with a guy who had one of those old school smoke grenades where you have to pull the pin(it was filled with some sort of powder). As soon as he pulled it, the powder shot out of the back and went all in my mask. My eyes felt like they were on fire. The refs called the game and I had to have some doctor look at my eyes. That was pretty painful.

kid named tommy at the field i ref was sliding into a bunker and he hit a stump or rock or something and then he walked off the field cause it hirt, by the time he got to the safe area his sock and leg was covered in blood. we pulled up his pant leg and there was a gash bout three inches long inch wide and deep enough to go to the muscle right under his left knee.
Best thing is the kid was bout 15 and didnt even drop a tear, he just sat there and cussed bout how he couldnt play. from the looks i would have been crying like a baby, he was a tough little bastard.

I don' think I've had and injuries playing paintball, but ive witnessed a few.

1)It was rec play, this girl was kneeling behind an airball bunker, and sliced her knee open on the top of one of the stakes. They had to take her to the hospital. She had to get stitches because there was just this flap of skin hanging.

2)Again, rec play, these two brothers were in the back bunker. They were behind one another, the back one shooting, while the other was tucked in, then he poped out to shoot and got shot in the back of the head, with basically the barrel right on his head.

3)I was reffing a tourny, this kid goes on a bunker run, gets one guy, then goes to bunker another kid, he gets shot point blank in the neck. Later, after the tourny, he goes on another run and get shot point blank in the neck. He comes off the field, and leaves, forgetting his pack there. Then, next week, he wasn't there and people said he was at the hospital.
