You hit the nail on the head
In theory Tourney players know and understand the hazards and are more safe, but we are the ones more likely to be complacent.
Think of this. More people are cut by blunt knives than by sharp ones. (Medical Fact)
safety and netting

what's the legal distance for firing near a public right of way? is it 100 yards or 100 ft? either way I bet a lot of sites are on dodgy ground.
I think its 50yds from a public right of way, thats what was drummed into me when i used to go air rifle huntin'.....
lets just face it there is some people out there who come to the tourneys AND HAVE NO RESPECT
THEY NO THEY SHOULD`NT DO IT
never mind the rights and wrongs of the rules and by laws
its blatent stupid and dangerous
but they still do it
why you ask
because they are ignorant and stupid
find the culprets and ban them!

Some people are stupid and shouldn't go to comp, but they do and will continue to do so.
Any site that is within 50 yards of a public right of way (footpath or road) should be reported to the authorities immediately, regardless of whether they have netting or not.
Only by allowing suitable sites to trade will the sport be taken further in a professional and safe manor.
Do we need to be discussing the thread "Motroway pile up kills 75 people, but net was 6m high say site owners"

But lots of paintball stuff is pretty much illegal..... pistols ove 6 ft lbs, full auto (existing in this country, never mind firing it), C02 in an enclosed space, decanting nitrogen from bulk to on-gun the authorities just haven't rounded on us yet. THe HSE will eventualy start cracking down, but they've got bigger problems with the rest of the country...... we are little fish.
re
the stupid behavour away from the fields is simply not acceptable and i agree these people should be banned from playin!! But i feel that stricter enforcement of barrel condoms in players tents etc should be enforced as well, how many players do you see dry firing without a condom one during your average tourney?.....too many i feel, it only takes one ball to take out somenones eye!!

re
HSE are more intersested with building site and workplace issues, cos too many people are getting seriously injured and killed, but yes eventually they will take a stroll down to a tourney and close it down! its only a matter of time......

You can tell who's had dealings with the HSE a mile off.
Heres an interesting health and safety trivia question.
What is the most common cause of injury in the UK police force?
(this is from the HSE official in charge of police accident/injury).
