post-traumatic stress disorder. it can happen after a major life catastrophe and resurface later in life without any warning. and it does kill.

Maybe he sat down in his carseat to hard...and the impact stopped his heart?!?!
I say a 39 year old man with a heart problem should not play paintball.
The hit was a coincidence.
In paintball you run, crouch, run some more.Pretty intense physical sport.
This, along with the excitement of a game like that probably became too much for his heart.

I don't think the paintball killed him. There's no way, even if it did hit at that precise instant in the heart rhythm, they just don't carry enough kinetic energy to stop it.

There's a significant difference between ordinary paintballs and the projectiles fired by the FN303:Hotwired wrote:Oh no?

And I can just about guarantee you that that gun shoots heavier projectiles and a higher velocity.Hotwired wrote:Oh no?

Don'tcha just hate it when theres more posts after the one you intended it to follow?
They count as paintballs was the point so you can stop quoting my misbegotten link
...was the one I was intending for it to be after, then realised it wasn't going to be, then thought "feck it" it's interesting so I'll leave it.sparkey wrote:But death by paintball is not going to happen.

They aren't balls. And the portion that absorbs the main brunt of the impact isn't paint. I actually don't think they count as paintballs at all.

Silly silly news industry. If it were meant to kill, then it wouldn't be a thriving game/hobby industry. That's about all I have to say for now.
Yeah, I'm back.

i also find this hard to believe for reasons already stated...
next thing we will hear is that the paintball industry will lower the cap on velocity so similar incidents cannot happen again

If that happens, we're in trouble. The rounds drop enough as it is.ALIHISGREAT wrote:i also find this hard to believe for reasons already stated...

Even so, paintball field owners have to cover their ass with no-medical-issue forms.
Which the guy did sign.
I'd say it was just really crap luck. Heart attacks can and have been triggered over very minor external things. The paintball game as a whole before he got to his car could as easily have been a cause in my unprofessional medical opinion.
