public liability insurance

[jokmctoast]

The insurance cover provided by sites, is against their negligence, for example if a marshal was to advise you to jump off of a structure, and you hurt yourself doing so, that would be likely that the site would be held negligent.
The cover the UKPSF has arranged, has amongst other things, cover for your own negligence, lets say you shot someone at real close range and injure them, then you will have third party liability cover from the UKPSF policy.

please don't take my comments as law, it is just my understanding, of a very often misunderstood subject.

For an event to be deemed "Sanctioned" it must meet certain criteria.

'Event must be held at a UKPSF registered site'

make sure the site you are playing at is a UKPSF registered site for this insurance to cover you, ask the site owner OR if it is an event do the same.

Check with your own (or parents) buildings and contents insurance if they provide cover which some do

this was what i was thinking say i take a dive my bottle breaks loose breaks someone's leg or worse would the site cover this ???? i know i have personal cover and hope and prey i never need to use it

If a site bottle breaks and injures someone the site insurance will deal with it.



If your equipment breaks and injures someone, in the first instance you would be held liable. The site, the land owner, the event organiser, might possibly be held responsible as well, but not necessarily .

You are in this country responsible for your own actions or inaction's, and I would advise anyone playing paintball to have suitable personal liability insurance.

Just a layman's point of view, but a layman who has peronal liability, insurance as well insurance for his paintball site.
