They're not so fun when someone gets injured.

I hate to be the old "it's all fun and games until someone loses and eye", but...

I have been hit within a half inch of my eye on three separate occasions by a paper plane at the championship. And when they come from 100 feet overhead, they can hit with a fair amount of force. It was significant enough that I was seriously thankful that it missed my eye. I don't know about you, but I value my eyesight. This is why I'm so against it.

I swear I'm not that old, even though it seems like it in this thread. I'm just sick and tired of getting hit near my eyes.
