Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm sure nobody wants to see a paintball go
through anyone.

It's not that the potential for injury is _that_ high to begin with, but
like anything if you neglect safety it increases. I've seen people play
with just goggles and think they'll be fine. In reality they are fine -
until they get shot in the head. Personally, I prefer shooting people in
the head, the mask (and your skull) will break balls 99% of the time (same
as if you shoot their gun) where if you shoot clothes it's only about 75% of
the time that they break.
