How safe is paintball?
Isn't it painful?
Not usually, but it can be. A lot depends on what you are wearing, how close you are to the opposition player and the level of safety equipment and standards in operation. The paintball can sting. This normally occurs in the third or fourth game when players have been hit once or twice and find that the impact is not as serious as they thought it would be. They then start to take chances, get over exited and disobey safety rules concerning close range contact. Worst case impact is much like being whacked by a squash ball and occurs on average to one in every thirty participants, mainly amongst student groups.
What about being hit in the face or eyes?
Being hit in the face or eyes is a non-event as long as the face and eye protection supplied by the field operator is worn correctly at all times whilst on the playing field and all of the safety rules are adhered to.
Does the paint wash out ?
Yes. The paint does not stain and will wash out. The paintballs are bio-degradable and environmentally friendly to everything except those players that happen to get in their way.
What must I wear?
Players can make contact at close range and we therefore advise players to wear long pants, T-shirt and a dark coloured long sleeved top/tracksuit top. Bush jackets are supplied but we cannot guarantee a perfect fit for larger individuals. Good footwear is important as you will be covering uneven terrain. A cap is also useful to protect the top of your head and to prevent an untimely hair colour change. We also provide colour-coded team scarves to cover the neck area and act as a sweat band.
How fit do I have to be ?
Whilst it is beneficial to be fit, it is not a prerequisite as the game allows individuals of lesser athletic abilities to participate by applying stealth and strategic thought. Players from all age groups and gender participate equally and successfully. We have even had participants on the field in wheel chairs.
Paintball: the thrill of real time combat
Most people never get to experience the rush of combat between opponents on a paintball field, but this is all about to change: now you can have all of the excitement and adrenalin that comes with intensive field play with none of the danger in the world's safest combat sport: paintball.
What makes it so real?
You get the camouflage gear and the face mask, you get the thrill of crawling through grass, mud and bush to hunt your opponents, and you get the paintball gun with which to splat them. With all of this and more, you can experience what it really feels like to be on the frontline!
Paintball: a safe alternative
Paintball is all the thrill and adventure of combat hunting, but it comes with very few risks provided you wear all of the protective gear supplied. The ‘bullets' used in the paintball guns are softgel balls filled with colourful paint, and explode on impact to simulate a hit. These hurt very little at long distance range.
