Paintballing harm - How to prevent Serious paintballing Injuries

Injuries while playing paintball are are most often minor such as cuts and bruises, but unfortunately once in a while there will be a serious injury like loss of sight. In this article we will explain how you can prevent any serious injuries playing paintball.

The most serious injury that can be sustained while playing paintball is loss of sight. This would be caused by getting shot in the eye with a paintball at high velocity. This scenario is simply avoidable by wearing a paintballing helmet that covers the eye's and face. The accidents will usually ensue as people take off their masks in the course of a game, or if people have no face protection at the outset and get shot in the face by a high speed paintball.

If you play at a specialist paintballing centre then it is mandatory for every person to wear paintballing goggles that cover the entire 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 normally 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 first-class paintballing helmet. The majority high-quality paintballing centres will issue paintballing goggles that will cover the full of the head. Some players insist on just wearing face protection or glasse's, this leaves exposed vulnerable 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.
