Paintball Field Safety Briefing

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Robert Stewart with Hill13.com. So now you have signed your waiver, you've gotten your gun and your paint, your goggles your neck protection and you think you are ready to go but wait there is one more thing. As we said at the beginning of one of the earlier segments safety is the most important factor to being able to enjoy paintball so for that reason at every reputable field you are going to be required to stand and listen to a safety briefing. Safety briefings are usually mandatory at well run fields and they are going to cover topics such as when barrel plugs must be in, when and where goggles must be worn, whatever their surrender rule is 10 feet, 20 feet, what have you and whether or not you are going to be playing with arm and leg shots counting versus head and body shots counting, some places have different rules and some places will even ask you if you want to play with a given set of rules. Be sure that you pay attention through this portion at a paintball field because you might miss very importation information that if you don't have it you or someone else could get hurt. You are also going to probably be warned about particular hazards on the field if any and to be aware of any extenuating circumstances around that field. But generally speaking it is going to be pretty uniform and most of those points are for your own safety."
