So i fractured my wrist during soccer, and now i have a cast on my left wrist. Think i could still possibly play paintball?? should i attempt? It stops right below my elbow

Sure, might not be able to use your other hand for walking for a bit , but just trade off with a backman on the left hand side and shoot the lane till ur gone, if not then hang out on PB sites more for a bit while it heals, you will learn alot more about the sport, tactics,gear,personas, and will be excited and ready to play when that cast comes off. ;)

Use the cast to support your gun... just watch the diving

My friend played paintball with a broken arm and he was fine. Just make sure you are extra carful on your dives. And if you play woodsball make sure you dont hit in on a tree of bunker. Other than that I think you should be fine. But I would still ask your docter first.

You could try, but you would be limited to how you play. Also, wrap up your cast a bit. Atleast at the ends to keep paint from getting under it.

its a bit iffy on how you play. If your a back and all you do is lay down lanes, go for it. If your a mid/front and play the snake alot, I recommend not to. You dont want to rebreak your arm, do you?

I broke my arm a couple weeks ago snowboarding and I still balled with the cast on. Not only did I play, but I mowed fools too.

I played with my broken thumb about a month ago and did fine. I would just watch the dives, sliding, etc.:|

Ummm how about being on the safe side and NO sliding or diving.

Give'r.
The cast should be able to take ball impact fine, just take it easy on any diving moves.

Maybe go once or twise but just rent to see if you like it. With a broken wrist it shouldent be too bad, it just might be a pain to reload if you dont have that much movement in it.
