Paintballing injuries are usually either minor or serious, ranging from cuts and bruises through to loss of sight in very rare cases. The vast majority of injuries are preventable and I will explain in this article what to do to avoid injury
The most serious injury that can be sustained while playing paintball is sightlessness. This would be caused by getting shot in the eye with a paintball at high pace. This scenario is simply avoidable by wearing a paintballing helmet that covers the eye's and face. The accidents will commonly ensue after people take off their goggles in the course of a game, or if people have no face protection at the start and get shot in the face by a high speed paintball.
If you play at a expert paintballing centre then it is mandatory for everybody to wear paintballing helmets that cover the total face to prevent getting shot in the face. Because of this enforcement the majority of injuries tend to take place on private paintballing fields where people will commonly not be as strict when it comes to enforcing safety rules.
The next biggest factor that will prevent you getting a serious injury is the purchase of a high-quality paintballing helmet. Nearly all good quality paintballing centres will issue paintballing helmets that will cover the entire of the head. Some players insist on just wearing face protection or glasse's, this leaves exposed easily hurt area's like the nose, and also the temples by the side of the head, which will cause serious injury if they are struck by a paintball.
The best tip to reduce the risk of any serious injuries is to play at an accredited paintball centre because their safety records are much better than private paintball fields.
