well they have never acually tried to hurt me...but just give them examples of what would happen...say like..oh ok....lets see what you hav to say when u have one eye as these things go at 200mph and u have seen what sort of bruises they make so go figure when its on an eye....stuff like that
i mean in a controlled professional style.
the second you retaliate like that you lose your authority and your just as bad as him.
i mean how far does reasonable force go, and more importantly what action can be taken. we put ourselves out to look after these people, and if their own ignorance and general gooberness leads them to injury they can still successfully sue you.

LJ, we explicitly warn people of the dangers in the safety briefing.
i guess goobers will be goobers

well u cant hit em back, but as i said, tell them what will happen, and they WILL listen....if they dont then call over someone a little larger like robin
i neva said hit em back and 2 b honest cockers rule if u need some1 bigger 2 deal wiv a punter 4 u then u shouldnt b on the field. u need 2 b able 2 look after ur punters.
yeah i can...cos ive never had a punter that has said f*ck off to me before reagarding gogles cos in the safety brief in the morning we show them what paintball have done to hoppers etc and ask them to imagine what it would do to your eye, ive only ever nearly seen one fight where a guy was constantly wiping and one of the other team got pissed off, but i werent marshalling that game....
Aaaah, adrenaline fueled conflicts, aren't they great?
I personally think that at the begining of each day, a hard boiled egg should be shot from about 20-30 feet away. I saw a picture of that once, I think from pbreview, and it scared the bejeebus out of me. For some reason, people dont seem to grasp the danger involved. My boss even tells them that the paintball will go through their eyes and into the backs of their skulls (which I take to be bollocks but its still a grisly mental image).
As for controlling punters, it really depends on the situation. If there's paint flying thick and fast, you've got to be physical and get him on the ground asap. I can appreciate the need for professionalism but trying to reason with a punter when every second could bring on disaster just isn't going to work.

i am not ,repeat not defending removing goggles, but at some sites they supply cheap goggles which fog real easy and i think they should coff up the extra couple of quid for thermals so that goobers are not even tempted to remove goggles to wipe them clean. this i see so often.
