Abstract

Since the paintball game was introduced to the United States more than two decades ago, the popularity of this recreational sport has grown significantly. It is estimated that, as of 2002, more than 12 million people in over 6000 paintball sites have participated in this simulated combat sport (1). With the rising popularity of this recreational sport supported in part by a rapid industry growth, there has been a steady rise in the incidence of paintball-related injuries (1). Because a paintball firearm is capable of firing paint-filled gelatin pellets at a high velocity, this recreational weaponry can cause significant blunt injury to bodily organs upon impact.
