Paintball is a fast, physical game played over uneven outdoor ground. We run it as safely as we can, and your part is to know the risks and stick to the rules. Please read this carefully before you play.

The risks

• Being hit by paintballs travelling at speed, which sting and commonly leave welts and bruises.
• Serious eye injury if a mask is lifted or removed in a live area.
• Trips, falls, sprains and cuts from running on rough, wet or sloping ground and around obstacles.
• Collisions with other players, bunkers, trees and structures.
• Paint, mud and dye on clothing and belongings, which may not wash out.

The rules

1. Masks stay on, fully fitted, at all times in the game zone and anywhere a marker could be fired. No exceptions.
2. Barrel covers stay on whenever you are outside the game zone.
3. No shooting at anyone closer than the minimum distance explained in the safety briefing, and no blind firing.
4. No alcohol or drugs before or during play. Staff may stand down anyone they believe is impaired.
5. Only paint and equipment supplied or approved by us may be used.
6. The referee's call is final. Anyone playing unsafely can be removed without a refund.

I understand that Ridgeline Paintball takes reasonable care to run this activity safely, that it cannot remove every risk, and that I am responsible for my own behaviour and for following the rules. Nothing in this form limits any rights I have under New Zealand law that cannot be excluded, including ACC cover.
