5. Paintball for Birthday Party
Paintball? More like pain-ball. In a paintball game, players shoot each other with tiny capsules filled with bright colours, tagging opponents to get them out of the game. However, proper care and protective equipment is required: when fired at high speed from a gun, these tiny capsules become bullets that may hurt your child.
Ever wonder what paintballs are actually made of?
Paintballs are mostly gelatin capsules filled with dyed colors. They are made to withstand being shot out by compressed air from a gun.
set up a proper battlefield with great safety precautions
Do take precautions when organizing a paintball party for your child, such as wearing helmets and protective vests. Other safety rules include wearing a helmet and visor at all times, and not shooting within 3 metres to the opponent. As kids can get caught up in the intensity of the game, do keep watch to ensure that precautions are followed to avoid injuries to both your child and their friends.
Verdict
Safety will be the greatest issue, as much as Paintball is truly memorable and enjoyable. Injuries both by the balls and from running in heavy equipment would be dangerous
