| Paintball Safety. The number 1 most common injury associated
with paintball activities is eye injuries. The most common
sequence of events in which eye injuries occur is when an innocent
bystander inadvertently walks onto a Paintball Engagement Area.
RSO's must ensure this doesn't happen by monitoring the Engagement Area
and properly setting up the unit's paintball field.
- Treat Paintball Engagements like you would any other live-fire
exercise. Assigned a certified RSO and Range OIC for
the paintball engagement. For information on becoming RSO certified click
