is this healthy for the sport

[H]

gonna give the sport the image of loads of kids and druken adults shooting each other so they can prove that they are real men

I thought it was that already

 

[***tom***]

Lol cant arguee with that
but still u gotta amit that it's just not right

 

[Tom37]

fat people are unhealthy for paintball

it made me chuckle... but i still cant see why the dm4 dumbass one (think it was the second video) is dangerous?

the last one was a bit over the line though...

 

[***tom***]

ya i know soo easy to miss
i bet that no1 has ever been shot in the eye by that but there are people that have been shot in the eye druning a organised game

why god why!!!!!!

Yep ive also noticed a lot of the american paintball reviews sites include vidoes where the testers dont wear masks. Although i know there may be no danger of them hiting them selves. It is still not the message to give out i dont think.

Amen thank god another person who cares about the image of the sport

To which sport do you refer? Paintball? Its participant based not spectator, hell I love paintball and find it like watching paint dry to watch, so the only people bothered by this (and this again is a minority I would guess) are people who already play?

So I ask to whom are we to be concerned about this tarnishing our 'sports' (and I use the word loosely) image?

I can search the internet and find videos of people getting hit with golfclubs, baseballbats and all manner of other sporting goods... I don't anyone getting upset about it, or the fact that these are sold to Joe public?

Anything in the wrong hands is dangerous... and I think the majority of people with an ounce of common sense would be quick enough to realise it don't you?

good points but there is the image that the new players see when they first start playing
and as for the idots that do this their vids are gonna be the 1s that are seen if a vid says nppl opend 05 florida or what eva they are not gonna take much notic but if it says fat kid gets hit by paintballs thats the 1 people are gonna watch

Its the same as anything else there will always be people acting irresponsible with item.It may be a motocross bike and wearing no helmet or it might be a paintball gun again wearing no helmet.
There is nothing you can do except watch it and let them get on with it.As long as your being safe and not fooling around when you arent meant too.
Its all good
And as Parksy says Anything in the wrong hands is dangerous... and I think the majority of people with an ounce of common sense would be quick enough to realise it don't you?
