Safety

Normally we have a minimum of 2 Senior First Aid Officers on duty when fields are operational.

Safety First Paintball is one of the safest sports in the world. The reason for this is that players must wear the proper protection at all times and must adjust their paint markers so that the paintball will not cause severe pain on impact. Statistics show that paintball is one of the safest fun activities around. Insurance statistics have shown that Paintball is safer than golf, jogging, tennis, swimming and many other sports. All games are supervised and controlled by fully trained, professional referees. The priority for our referees is safety, and to do that effectively there is NO compromise on rules or standards. We have everything you need to have a great day…..safely! WHAT IS A PAINTBALL? A paintball is a round, thin-skinned, dye-filled gelatin capsule that is the size of a child's marble. Paintballs are very similar to a large capsule or bath oil bead. The paintball is filled with harmless non-toxic, water soluble, non-caustic, bio-degradable vegetable dye that comes in a wide variety of colours. When a paintball hits a player, the thin gelatin skin breaks open and the liquid inside leaves a "splat mark" on the player's clothes signifying his or her "elimination". PAINTBALL MARKERS We supply two types of markers that we suggest you request when booking: 1. Pump Action Each time you pump, the marker selects 1 paintball and is ready to fire on request. 2. Semi Auto After the first loading the marker loads a paintball and upon each squeeze of the trigger the marker will automatically select another paintball to fire. If you wish to bring your own marker there is no problem. However, due to our high safety standards your marker could be subjected to testing, and if not conforming, may need to be adjusted prior to approval of use. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? We suggest that you wear outdoor, comfortable footwear (sport/hiking style). You can bring your own clothing or we will supply either pants & shirts or overalls. We also supply all other protective equipment as required.
