Risk Management for Paintball Businesses
What started as a game to settle an argument in 1981 New Hampshire has grown into a full-fledged sport creating clubs, associations, leagues and tournaments worldwide. Your paintball company provides fun, exercise and stress relief for thousands of people every year. Paintball company insurance can cover your liabilities so you can focus on providing your clients with the best possible paintball experience.
Some of the steps your paintball company can take to reduce your liability exposures include:
- Having waivers drafted by a lawyer who specializes in paintball games and recreational liability
- Restrict participation to people over a certain age and have parents sign consent forms and waivers for anyone under 18 years of age
- Enforce strict safety rules regarding proper paintball attire that make goggles, face shields, padded vests and proper footwear mandatory
- Have first aid stations available throughout the paintball facility and ensure staff are licensed and properly trained in CPR and first aid
- Store carbon dioxide canisters in a cool location, out of direct sunlight
- Use chronometers to ensure players’ rifle velocities do not exceed 300ft per second
