Paintball is an extremely safe sport if it is played correctly. The vast majority of injuries that occur when playing paintball are avoidable if the correct measures are taken. In this article I will outline what measures professionals take to ensure their safety that you’ll be able to copy.

Invest In Good Paintball Clothes – Its no secret that it would hurt a lot more if you played paintball naked than if you were to play in 3 layers of boiler suits. Yet to this day people will still run on to a paintball field’s with nothing more than a pair of shorts and a T-shirt on. When you are playing paintball the chances are that you are going to be diving and crawling around, so if you don’t have any padding on your joints, there’s are much better chance of you hurting yourself. The majority of purpose made paintball suits come with padded joint pads, and are also designed to reduce the force of the paintball when it hits you.

Always Buy Specialist Paintball Goggles – Paintball goggles serve a very important purpose of protecting the most vulnerable parts of your face and head. All paintball goggles will be tested to sustain impacts from paintball’s slightly above the 300 feet per second paintball limit, so if you use any other type of protection such as Lab glasses there’s a good chance they will shatter from the impact of a paintball, and you will damage your eyes.

Do not Customize The Firing Power Of Your Gun Yourself – The agreed top speed that your paintball should fire at is 300 feet per second. This limit has been set, because over this speed paintballs will break the skin. So if you customize your own gun without expert instruction, then there is a good chance that your gun will fire paintballs beyond this limit making your marker that much more dangerous and more likely to causes serious damage.

My hubby played paintball a few weekends back. I finally got around to washing the clothes he wore that weekend. I washed them twice then dried them without making sure they were totally clean. I just discovered that the sweatshirt he was wearing has oil stains from where he was hit. He says the paintballs are made out of canola oil and bees wax. Is there anyway to get these stains out? Or should I not even bother?
It’s not the paint that stained. The paint came out. It’s the oil that they use in the making of the paintballs that has stained the clothing. I want to know how to get the oil stains out… or if it’s even possible…
