Safety factors ARE involved. The usage of guns is involved. But, a level headed person such as myself can plainly see that in the case of most to all paintball fields and activities, safety is of utmost importance and safety rules and regulations are enforced. My answer is no. Paintball is like chess, but you have to use your physical self in order to pull out your strategy.
Chess challenges the mind.
Paintball challenges the person s mind to work with the body. Of course it is.
