Look up the insurance stats, paintball is safer than golf and bowling (E.R. visits per 1000 participants).

My first reaction is 'well, yeah, just look at who plays paintball versus who plays golf or bowling'. Unless those stats have taken into account the differing ER visit rates of teens & senior citizens, I don't think that says very much about how safe paintball is; teens playing bowling or golf probably have even lower ER visit rates...
