Not to be morbid, but this is the lead paragraph from an article last August in U.S. News & World Report on the dangers of unprotected paintball:

Title: Backyard paintball play leads to serious eye injuries

Author(s): Dana Hawkins

Issue Date: AUGUST 14, 2000

Words in article: 831

Lead Paragraph: Matt Dillman was enjoying a rousing game of paintball with a friend at his sister's farm outside Wichita, Kan., one spring evening last year. When it grew dark, Matt, then 15, was done playing, so he sat on the porch. At that moment, his friend whipped around the corner and shot him. A marble-size, gelatin capsule filled with a nontoxic dye, traveling at over 200 mph, exploded upon contact--ripping open Matt's right eye, tearing his iris, and causing the orb to hemorrhage badly.

From what I've heard, paintball games should be played in specific areas, and the guns used only in bounds to avoid accidents like what happened to Matt Dillman.
