A pal of mine passed out and went into seizures right in front of me at work today. I was stunned, at first I thought he was messing around, but I quickly realized that wasn't the case. Thankfully there were other people around who quickly got hold of an ambulance and did whatever it is you're supposed to do in such a circumstance. I felt so helpless, It was a horrible feeling, and still feel a bit bad about it now. After the medics came, fixed him up and carted him away, I wondered what the hell I could've done better. I wondered how everything would've gone had we been at the field. I've read tons of articles regarding first aid for paintball fields, but how many people actually have the means to do anything at their respective fields? A bit of a tip to all, be sure your field has, at the very least, a telephone, 'cause if there ain't a doc' in the house, you may have Billy Joe Bob trying to straighten your broken leg, or possibly givin' a little mouth to mouth. All I wanted to do here is to get everyone up on safety, there's a lot more to paintball safety than goggles and barrel plugs. Take care of yourselves, especially you renegades, just remember the old boyscout motto, "be prepared."
