1.
The field MUST have a chronograph. They must also enforce
that EVERY player must
ensure their paint marker is below 300
feet per second. The field should also be doing periodic checks of
the player's paint marker throughout the day. *
335 + will break skin.
A
chronograph is an electronic radar device which measures = feet per second.
2. The
field MUST enforce the use of goggles in the playing and chrono
areas. They must only allow goggles SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED
for paintball.
3. The
field MUST have a designated safe area, well away from the playing
area or seperated by mesh where players are allowed to remove their goggles.
4. The
field MUST have a barrel plug rule and enforce it in the safe area,
because players will have their paint markers in the safe area, where no
one will be wearing goggles. The barrel plug is a device which prevents
a paintball from leaving the barrel if the marker is accidentally fired.
There should be no shooting in the safe area ever.
5. The
field MUST have competent and experienced field staff to enforce
the rules of safety. What good are the rules if no one is enforcing
them? |
