It seems someone in the news media is interested in paintball, but what type of message are they trying to represent? The Article is based on research from a New York doctor, Dr David, that sites eye injuries from 1998 to 2000. The article even notes that saftey equipment has improved since then, but the message , to me, is unclear. Read the article at http://www.hon.ch/News/HSN/516776.html I noticed it in my local newspaper from the closest big city, and I wonder if this is the case in other big cities. My paper didn't even post the whole article, and left the reader thinking paintball on a whole is unsafe. Whats your thought?
