You ought to see our eye protection...
...and we DO wear padding/mesh in the appropriate areas. The only injuries in the 12 year history of the group I was involved with were self-inflicted, such as the guy who walked backwards off an 18' embankment in full plate armor. :P
Okay, there was one case where a guy's weapon was called "nonspec" (it had PVC showing) and he was told to a) fix the weapon, b) not use the weapon, or c) leave the game. He refused, tried, was restrained, and then handed over to the friendly police officer who liked to watch us. Wasn't charged with anything, but we didn't see their face around those parts again... Something about a possible assault 'n battery charge being pressed.
