Common Paintball Myths Disspelled Common Paintball Myths Dispelled Paintball is commonly thought of as an unsafe, absolutely not enjoyable, and totally inappropriate activity. The purpose of this page is to disprove all of those beliefs and show that paintball truly is a safe, fun, and very sophisticated sport. First of all, paintball is one of the safest sports around, with less injuries than most contact sports, and most of the injuries are due to user fault, not faulty equipment from the companies who make the products. Companies that make the goggles and safety equipment test their equipment at velocities well over the legal limits, just to ensure maximum safety. Also, many blame the establishments that run the games for being at fault when in fact they try their hardest to watch out for the well being of their customers, usually expelling anyone who fails to abide by the safety regulations.
Many people find it to be a fun sport and that it is an outlet for anger and aggression.
This outlet for anger and aggression is much better than kids getting into fights, vandalizing public places, or doing other harmful public activities. Many people automatically assume that because paintball players may be releasing anger it is automatically a bad thing, when they don't stop to think about what they are saying. I hope this page has enlightened people to the idea that paintball does not use real guns but rather it is a fun and exhilarating sport for many people.
