Paintballing is an accessible team game, as the majority of people can take part without having any previous knowledge or training. But, as we can see from the following video- not everyone can be trusted with these seemingly harmless ‘toys’.
Paintballing can be the perfect activity for many different occasions, including stag parties, hen parties, team building exercises and birthday celebrations. It offers an adrenalin filled day out that can benefit health, team morale and just general good banter. As we can see in the previous video however, not everybody is aware of the dangers of the often very powerful paintball guns, which, if shot from close range, can leave lasting physical damage.
Activities insurance from Ansell is the perfect way to cover yourself from those less experienced or sensible in the paintball field.
