Hello there.
I'm an avid tournament paintballer, and i also dabble in recreational airsoft with a few friends in the backyard. Like a few people implied, its the PERSON using no common sense that makes anything dangerous, not the actual item. Respect for any gun (paintball, firearm, airsoft, etc) is primary for having a fun, safe day. I know at many of the paintball fields i frequent, penalties for discharging it in "safe" areas include being asked to leave for the day, without refund. The statistics for paintball indicate that the history of paintball (since about 1980) has less injuries than bowling last year alone. Safe range(or field) owners who educate the consumer about gun safety make the difference!

Yup. Paintball too.
Although I think it can be a good teacher as well.
I went to play some paintball with a bunch of friends (Non-shooters). Sure enough even after I told a few of them to keep their fingers off the trigger while we were just standing around a couple of them ended up firing off a ball unintentionally. One of them even did it twice
Hopefully it drilled the reasoning into their heads.
