Paintball Mishaps Caused by Stupidity

I am not one to pass along videos where people get hurt, but this one just made me laugh and cringe at the same time. This is one of those that fits it the “Darwin Award” type of category. His own stupidity caused the results. It is people doing things like this that give paintball a bad name. Newspapers love to report how paintball is so dangerous, but only to those that are not doing it right. I am not an avid paintballer, but my brother is. I have been to some of his events and they are a lot of fun.

So next time you hear about someone getting hurt on a sport like this, ask a few extra questions to see who how it really happened.
Sorry I do not understand the fun of paintball….just do not understand it. And that video is up there on my list of OUCH why does anyone want to see that? But maybe we all watch AFV and YouTube where people are injured because it helps us feel smart….
haha, so true. Maybe there is some real truth to that. We watch the “ouch” videos to realize we are somewhere further up the line on the evolutionary scale. Then again, I have done some pretty dumb things in my day…
Ouch! Wow and to think the world is full of people that are capable of such brain power! Didn’t anyone teach the boy about cause and reaction???? OY!
Wow. That’s all I can say. Paintball should be reserved only for those who know how guns work, and how gun safety works. As for those who think paintball is dangerous…stay away. If you’re scared that it is going to hurt you than you probably shouldn’t play it.
paintball is one of the safest sports out there when proper saftey equipment is used. The stupidity of some people, however, give the sport a bad rap.
This is the address of a site that gives the number of people injured yearly per one-thousand participants of twenty-six US sports.
