The average player will suffer a Paintball injury about once every 500 years...

[Ice]

atleast according to the idiots at APG.

Here's the Article http://www.actionpursuitgames.com/articles/hs0307rel.html

It doesn't seem overly wrong. However, the articles hard to follow, and the charts don't even list Paintball... Morons :rolleyes:

Oh well... Helps us prove the public wrong.

[Sc0tTy]

they don't list paintball because were so safe :cool:

[FusionLemming]

i'll just take your word for it cause i dont feel like reading that whole thing:sleep:

That's because we're not in the top 25 for most injuries. That's a good thing. We don't want to be on those lists.

[Housemaster]

APG = http://www.randmpaintball.com/phpBB2/images/smiles/new_newbie.gif magazine. I can't stand those guys.

At least they didn't put us on the top 25 list.

[XtraBoy]

hell, i wont let my dad golf anymore... golfing more dangerous than paintball :sulk: :paranoid:

[Ice]

Yes, I know why where not on the lists. But the thing is, why bother post the list, if it doesn't list us? I mean, we already know what the most dangerous sports are. And in the writing it told us what the paintball statisics were, along with the top 3 dangerous sports. So why bother putting up the list. Just seems like fluf to me. Oh well, I'll shut up now before I make a fool of myself.

golf... the only injuries i can think of are if i were on the courses. i'd take my club and start hitting people, then id ride my golfcart into the lake. or id just stay in a tree and throw golf balls at people right as theyre about to swing.

[camoman5000]

my friend hit me in the head with a golf ball, and I passed out or something, right there on the course, it sucked.

Ya, I don't see how you could get injured soley by a paintball marker in the sport, if you wear your mask and protective gear, and you get hit, whoopdeedoo, they must not count a welt as an injury. yay:crazy:

[cocker kid 2k2]

How the heck is golf more dangerous than mountain biking? Somethin doesn't sound right :eyes:

[thepeashooter]

just because your nto doing something rough and physical doesn't mean you cant get injured

Golf - dislocated shoulder, pulled muscles, hit with golf balls, hit with a club(standing to close)

Paintball - Twisted or sprained ankle, broken wrists or arms because you tried to pull a superman...also the few eyeball shots from *******'s taking off their masks



The sad thing is my worst injury was while playing golf...I got hit in the head with a putter..right on my eyebrow so blood was just pouring and running down my face..it was great


Also one other thing
usually old people who can hurt themselves really easily play golf where as young people go mountain biking

I didn't say that. I didn't even come close to saying that. Mountain biking involves much more physical activity than golf, thats why i thought it was odd that peole were more injured in the less physical one.

I worked at a golf course for a season, not once did anyone get hurt at all.

it could have something to do with old people playing golf..and they're far more suceptible to injury than a 13 year old, or how people define injury..if my legs are sore after a day of playing paintball, I don't consider that an injury

DO they count brusies as injuries? :P

[thepeashooter]

so if u get 10 injuries in a single year you wont have to worry about injuries for the next 5000 years

[Mr. Kitty]

At my field this guy slid into an exposed stake and ripped up his leg so bad he got like a million stitches. Now we use ****ty plastic staked that break :(
