Paintball Safety Tips

Paintball has become the fastest growing extreme sport and with this there are growing concerns about the safety of the participants. We at Fun On The Run Paintball Park want to stress the importance of following a few simple rules to keep this a safe sport for all players and spectators.

• Players should always play at regulated fields with referees to oversee the games as well as check paintball markers with a chronograph. A chronograph will check the speed that the paintball marker is firing to insure that you stay within the legal limit of 285 feet per second. This is something that should be checked daily.
• Players should always wear paintball approved goggles. These goggles have been tested and have the impact resistance that is necessary for protecting you from injuries. Goggles are to be worn at all times while you are on the playing field.
• Barrel blocking devices (B.B.D.) are to be on your paintball marker at all times while you are off of the playing field. This insures that players and spectators are protected from accidentally being hit by a paintball at close range.
• Shooting your paintball marker is only permitted on the paintball field and in the target range. The target range is a safe place where you can chronograph and test fire your marker. Always wear protective goggles in the target range as well as on the field.
• Never work on your paintball marker without taking safety precautions first. This would first require wearing protective eye wear and disconnecting your air source.

By following these basic safety tips everyone can be assured to have a safe, fun filled day!
