Paintball Safety

For safety, paintball players always must wear goggles specifically designed for paintball to protect their eyes,face and ears. Goggles must be worn during a game and at all times when a person is in an area where shooting is permitted.

A protective facemask is mandatory everywhere, and should be worn regardless. Paintball is a very safe sport as long as safety rules are followed. Insurance statistics have shown that paintball is safer than golf, jogging, tennis, swimming and many other sports.

Referees on the field enforce safety and game rules. No physical contact is permitted in the game, and players are ejected from games or the playsite for breaking safety or playing rules. Fields have boundaries, and a player who steps outside a field's boundary is eliminated from that game.
