After 23 Years - Cyst Caused by Trauma

[bored383]

I’ve never had a seriously bad hit. I’ve had plenty of nasty welts & some that bled a bit but overall nothing terrible. A guy i used to play with did a running slide on his knees & peeled one of his kneecaps back. I was playing on a different part of the field when it happened & was gone to the hospital by the time i found out but the people that were there said it was super bad. As far as i know he never played again after that.

no thank you. I did bust my shoulder playing. dislocated my arm upwards out of the socket. that hurt. a lot. Tripped while running, while looking to the side at the bunker in the woods I was dashing past. was playing stock in a walk on game. went airborne and was still in the zone so I was still covering the bunker with my nightmare - planted my right elbow into the ground first and crunch. knocked the wind out of myself also. the refs realized something bad had happened and called the game. the moral of the story is the john woo gun fu stuff doesn't work in real life

If we're including all injuries and not just the ones from getting hit, then I've also broken a rib with my pod pack. I was wearing the belt a little too low and when I vaulted a wall to get out of a trench, my leg pushed the band into my bottom floating rib which caused the bone to fold and the cartilage at the tip to tear a bit. That fuckin' hurt. Always wear your packs high on your lower back, kids.

Also, while we're on the topic of horrible paintball injuries, I was apparently out reffing a group of recballers on the back fields when Archie flayed his leg open by sliding over a stake while trying out for what would become X-Factor. I didn't see the commotion, but heard about it later. The field owner felt really bad about it and was out there later with a sledge, making sure that each and every one of the airball stakes were buried deep enough to tickle satan's taint.

I had a friend slide into a metal edge at a junkyard field i wanna say it was an old piece of farming equipment he slid into. I saw his kneecap entirely. I want to say he had an 11" vertical gash across his kneecap. The field isn't open anymore, but it was sketchy.

Way back in the day before semiautomatic paintball markers were legal in Sweden, my team was training both defense and attack with covering fire for the attacker - since it is pretty hard to lay down your own covering fire as you run with a pump.

At the moment I was defending behind a bunker, and when my team mate finally bunkered me, he hit me in the funny bone from about an inch or so. I was pretty close to fainting initially, and I couldn't hold on to my paintball marker. Also, my hand was twitching involuntarily for the rest of the afternoon, and I couldn't get it to stop.


Another near fainting hit was just a couple of years ago when I was the last one on my team, and was hit square in the temple by a FSR from quite short distance. To make matters worse, a friend of mine also had a bead on me, and kept pelting me with regular rounds. I of course knew that I was out already from the FSR hit, but I wasn't coherent enough to even lift my arm, primarily concentrating on not passing out.
