Paintball

[Detox]

Who else has been to paintball before?

I went recently with a group of people, but thankfully the one I went to you got a suit which helped stoped the bruising, although I got my girlfriends sister on the leg and no joke it's about the size of 4 50 Cent coins, it's huge and its just blue, pink, purple and red - it looks so bad.

I felt bad after that though, but all it all it was awesome it was good fun played for almost 3 hours.

I got hit a few times, a couple of times in the head too :lol:

Not legally old enough yet, but it looks fun as. Few of my older mates have tried it and they say if you don't mind the odd bruise it's mad fun.

 

[Detox]

Where do you live?

in Queensland where I went anyhow, as long as someone over 18 signs it's fine and you can play.

The odd bruise can hurt in paintball, but it's all fun doesn't kill you.

You should go give it a go, just take someone along a friend even who is over 18.

I'm pretty sure here u have to be 18 :? but im probebly wrong

 

[Detox]

That New South Wales?

Weird if it is true - someone older just signs a consent form to cover the company from law suits, such as death and extremely bad injuries etc.

 

[CC_Eagle]

Yeah you do, one of my mates who is the same age tried to slip them a $20 and got kicked out.

Might suss it out next year

 

[tUp]

yea i cant wait to give it a go, only like 10 months :roll:

 

[Detox]

:lol: Poor guys!

Do you need to show I.D though? \\/ :?::

 

[CC_Eagle]

Well obviously if he had to resort to slipping the owner a $20 then yes I'd assume they ask for ID. ;-)

I can understand their position though, if you're over 18 you are responsible for yourself so no matter what happens out there, it's your own fault. But if little 15 year old jimmy goes paintballing and somehow sustains a serious injury from it, the paintballing place is liable.

 

[Detox]

Yeah, I understand.

But, if somone over 18 signs saying they will be reliable for what happends etc ...its not there fault.

But meh, I'm not arguing about stupid paintball... :roll: :lol:

 

[CC_Eagle]

"reliable for what happens"?? :?:

 

[SirShire]

I went under 18 at Heartbreak Ridge. Twas awesome.

"reliable for what happens"?? :?:

If they get a bad injury, hurt themselves or even killed during there time, so if someone over 18 signs - it won't be the company's fault because of what they signed.

The page that had to be signed where I went to, just went on about you can't take them to court, if someone gets hurt or killed its not their fault etc.

I know, I was just pointing out that it should be liable, not reliable

i went for a mates bucks party, make sure you purchase a hector protector! when were lining up for gear, they asked us if we wanted one... being macho and all, we all said no, so they showed us a photo of some guys bruised and swollen testicles and then we pulled out our wallets.

They didn't ask us where we went, although half way during the game when we got out breaks I saw the sign if you wanted to buy one $5.50.

I didn't use one in the game, but I know the pain it could have caused, and Ouch!

I should use one next time though.

I love paintball- going again real soon

 

[***MH***]

some paintball injuries....

 

[Detox]

Painful.

The one my girlfriends sister got was actually worse then them all, with protective clothing on.
