Please if you are involved in paintball get educated on safe handling do some research on your own. Take some responsibility for your knowledge and your actions. There are a lot who are safe or try to be safe but we've all seen some idiots out there.
Maybe it is time to add some more safety information to my Blog.

See that is the problem with people today. They know what they are doing is unsafe but continue to act stupidly around it. Why? Because of two reasons.
1. They know that it is a possible that something could happen but the dont think it will ever happen to them.
2. They know that something could happen and if it does, they can make a lot of money out of it on a law sute.
I mean come on. I have a life vest that I use when I go fishing and on the tag it says: Warning do not place lead weights in vest. It will cause you to sink and hinder the capabilities of the vest.
My dad always said, the reason they place warnings that seem retarded on items like the vest is because some one some where was dumb enough to do it and that person or the family of that person sued the company for not properly labeling the vest.
This forces the company to place ridiculous warning labels and safety information on their items just so they can cover themselves.
