Houston news doing a safety piece on paintball

[Recon by Fire]

I didn't care for the part where they had the little kid going on about how he was almost blinded, and the Dr. declaring how dangerous it is. here is a thought for his concerned mommie and the fledgling player, don't visually look down the barrel without a mask on during a misfire! I on't even recommend it with a mask on. Little knucklehead. It should have been a segment on how dangerous nit wit kids are rather than the perils of paintball.

As most of us know, PB is a dangerous sport, all sports are in various aspects. But the kid looking down the barrel and with his logic, he had his finger on the trigger with the marker gassed. which is where Purple mentioned morons.

As for the dr, well, he is seeing more patients because as PB grows, there will be more and more markers in the world with malicious ppl using them outside of the sport, ie shooting cars, homes, other lil kids in their neighborhood(which turned out to be a lawsuit between neighbors because the kid is now blind in 1 eye)

Hehe, isnt it a cartoon cliche: looking down the barrel of a loaded gun after it misfires :rofl:
Who the heck looks down the barrel of a gassed up marker anyway even if it is not loaded? I hated those eye puff exams at the optometrist, i can only imagine the puff of a pb gun

Nin, i realize they :mentioned: the proper fields and all, but most people would look at this article as a "you'll shoot your eye out" piece, just my 0.02$

I think I would be too ashamed to get on TV and talk aout how I shot myself in the eyeball with my own paintball gun. Uhhh yea, paintball guns are dangerous...give that kid a bicycle helmet and a pair of plastic scissors. I think the doctor might have been exagerating on the amount of eye injuries he has seen.
The report really leaned toward playing on a field with proper equipment so all together it was not too bad...for a news report.
