Wear Protection

There is a big controversy about the amount of eye injuries that are cause by paint balls. In the sport of paintball you must were a mask that protects your eyes and face. When you go to a licensed field you are required to have a mask to play or even enter the field. When at a licensed field there are refs that stop you from taking your mask off during game play or when you have been shot out of a game. This keeps the chances of getting a serous eye injury very low because you are always wearing you mask. Many eye injuries that are reported occur in someones back yard or a place were there is no supervision. People will get hurt if there is no one there watching what they are doing. A lot of people want to take there masks off because they fog up or they become sweaty. There is no reason to blame the sport for eye injuries just the people that aren't careful enough and get themselves hurt.
