                    Oh thank goodness, I thought I was the only one who thought Beemer's safey talks were going over the top bit just a bit...

                      Almost 6 hours into voting and there is some interesting voting trends so far.

                        I know Beemer sounds like a safety fanatic but this is rediculous...
                        Yes, I voted in this pole for that reason

                          I can't believe 25% of the voters so far feel it is "more likely" to be hit by a turd from a Boeing 747 than say be killed by a paintball while wearing the proper safety gear. Though kind of funny I couldn't garentee the odds. But the odds are pretty good having a good time and walking away with minor bumps and scrapes here and there.

                            1 vote for "it is more likely" to die from a paintball hit than the other 9 items on the list. No suprise who voted that way

                            I figure at any moment there is many countless things that could kill us or harm us. The odds of making it to the next the day are pretty good though. Billions do it everyday. To me if we all were unwilling to take a chance at life doing things we enjoy, we all might as well be dead anyway.

                              WOW, someone is paranoid. If dieing from a single ball is the most likely thing on that list to happen to you than you should probably quit playing, its just not worth the risk
