1. Controversy
46 per year per thousand participants. When held in comparison to tennis, which has 1.09, and baseball, which has 27.67, you can obviously see that paintball is one of the safest sports in the world. Most injuries are pulled muscles, sprained ankles, which can be prevented with proper exercises.
Safety is the most important factor in paintball. Presently, paintball players are forced to wear masks, which cover the whole front and sides of their faces, and use barrel bags, or plugs to make sure unwanted paintballs don't shoot out of your gun at the wrong time. Another thing paintball field owners are very strict on, is the velocity that a paintball marker is running at. The most common outdoor velocity is 300 fps, ( feet per second ) and for indoor, its usually 250 fps. If you"re caught using a higher velocity than what's given, you will be kicked off the field without any exceptions.
Some paintball players, do the best they can to keep their sport safe, and appealing to the public. For example, about half of the fields in North America don't use red paint in their paintballs. Reasons being that red paint looks like blood, also some believed that should a real injury happen, they would not be able to tell what is paint and what is real blood. Although this has not happened, field owners try to make paintball as safe as possible. Another controversy, is that most "paintballers" use the word "marker" instead of gun, for obvious reasons.
But since shooting and high air pressure is involved, paintball has been classified under The Firearms Act in the Air Weapons section. As an Air Weapon, the gun does not need a license to own one. This Act states that markers must not shoot fully auto or exceed the limit of 330 fps.
As for the physical factor in paintball, I've heard people even say that they don't believe paintball would be hard to play. What they don't know, is that paintball is a strenuous activity.
