I have gone paintballing, quite a bit actually, and that's just not true, at least not of any of the protective gear that actually... you know, protects.

Safety is more important than spirit, your team (and everyone else at the event) would rather you cheer them on with bland safety glasses from the stands instead of by phone from the emergency room.

That gear is not meant for the kind of close quarters environment you're dealing with here, just because it can take the same amount of blunt force doesn't make it necessarily safe in this environment. Nobody here wants to see the safety rules get any more complicated so please exercise common sense and don't make them spell it out for you.
