Worst injury from airsoft

[Rm1980]

Got to be honest I don't get not wearing full face, to me it's as nuts as not wearing eye pro.

Had enough dental pain and cost in my life that I just don't understand why you would put yourself in a position where you could get your teeth shot out.

Probably an unpopular opinion but I think full face should be compulsory.

Not moaning, when it happened I was more like " Ah well... Lesson learned".

25 years ago I had a front tooth shattered, since then I've been through implants, serial infections causing incredible pain, two sets of dentures and probably thousands of pounds worth of dental work. It's something I'm conscious of nearly every day.

I don't want it to be my BB that puts someone else through that, any more than I want one of my BBs popping someone's eyeball. My lower face pro is probably the most comfortable part of my rig  and if anyone is on the fence about face pro or thinks it's unnecessary, I'd urge you to reconsider. There's nothing at all macho or manly about not being able to chew food properly for the rest of your life.

Potentially two vying for worst;

1) short range dmr to the adam's apple which choked me causing me to trip head first into a ditch with brambles and nettles in

or 

2) tripping in a sprint and twisting (protect the gun moment) only to land ribs first on a stump, pretty sure I broke/cracked but never got it confirmed

Burn'er

I've been lucky so far.  Worst was a close range BB to the eyebrow which bled into my eye.

Yeah, been there too. Caught one in a tiny gap between the top of the goggles and bottom of the baseball cap. At first I thought it was just the goggles fogging up...

I wouldn't play at a site that mandated face pro. I find anything covering my face to be incredibly uncomfortable and distracting. Absolutely more than happy to take the risk.

As for injuries, 2 spring to mind.

First one was I had dislocated an ankle whilst rock climbing during the week. On the Sunday, I bound it up super tight, put my boots on and promised myself I'd 'take it easy', halfway through the day I vaulted over a fence and dislocated my other ankle.

Second was at a tiny cqb site called the body farm. They had a small van with 2 open sliding doors in the play area. I ran and jumped into it and out the other site. Unfortunately I caught my scalp in the top door sill. It peeled a part of my scalp back like the lid on a sardine tin. Had to get stitches and have a bald spot there to this day.
