Hey Yall: GoodMorning America, had a report on this morning about a 15 yo girl who had her eye shot out by a paintball,shot by another 15 yo. This all happened 5 years ago, but the story was about the increse in eye injurys, over the last 2 years. I wonder why? it wasn't news worthy untill now. The 15 year old boy who was unsupervised by adults, shot into a croud of girls from a car he was in trying to get there attention, and hit this young lady in the eye. They said that most eye injurys happened on the paintball fields.... I have been playing this stupid game since 1988, started at Sneeds Island in Palmetto Florida, with old Scott Covert. I have only seen a very few eye injurys, in my time, and have seen a lot of poor paintball edicate, which is always disturbing. All of us as paintballers have a responsiblety to police the young ones who don't observe good marker safty. Anyway I thought the paintball community needs to be aware of thies kinds of reports.... Hope to see you all at MXS's Laberinth this weekend at SWFPP. Rodney Selner AkA SirRod Team FireStorm Fla. St. Champs 1993&4
