Don't they make people sign waivers before playing? Every course I've been to makes you sign one so they aren't at fault for injury BUT a metal stake sticking out is a different story!

He may have a case here Jay. Reading the headline, I thought it was just gonna be a story about some guy who suffered an injury related to being hit by the paintball itself. There had to be a waiver signed, but I dont know if it would cover random metal stakes.

People shooting at each other with guns that are air powered and someone got hurt, thats hard to swallow who would have thought that could happen. Whats scarry is they walk among us.

very sad. really killing the sport for everyone else. im big on airsoft and really wish that people would be more careful when it comes to playing with these toy guns. its not a joke, someone can really get hurt. definitely encourage people play safe if you do play www. airsplat. com

This won't kill the sport... insurance will pay for the liability. Their prices may go up due to increased insurance premiums though.

I use to work there..they don't do anything to prevent it or look for safety hazardous like these sad story

More hard hitting stuff- woodward and bernstein-LOOK OUT

Good to have some insider info, Scott. I guess they should be held accountable.

Use to play here, have fallen several times while playing there do to the fact they do not clean the field off in the middle of the day, the fact that they have so many people wanting to play certain fields but these fields can become a oil slick if not cleaned off. Owner tries to Silence anyone who bad talks his park, hope the guy wins, does not bug me at all place is a dump only a few good people work here.

It's not "sue happy" if the fields negligence costed you thousands upon thousands in medical bills.

If he had insurance, im sure he didnt pay thousands outa pocket.

I won't speak for him but I happen to know his bills were outrageous

Its always unfortunate when accidents happen!!! As a Paintball Field Owner with 29 years working in the industry and 25 years Owning and Operating my field called Paint Pursuit Games located near Minooka. Safety is always my main priority to me. The Paintball industry still has a very good safety record. I know I am required to acess the property I operate on very often. All field owners have to safety check their fields.Unfortunatley CPX must have missed something that day. Paintball is a extreme sport. There is always a risk of something happening. Just like any other sports. Paintball injuries are quite less than other accidents out in the world sports realated or other. I'm sure the owner of CPX is insured well. Its the reputation of Paintball Field Owners is what I'm concerned about. Because of this unfortunate media coverage. www.paintballfielchicago.com
