1、Designation:F177702 Designation: F1777 11An American National StandardStandard Practice forPaintball Field Operation1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1777; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis practice sets forth procedures for operating a paintball playing field. The goal is to assistpaintball field

3、 operators in running a safe business. Like any other physical activity, paintball presentsa potential for injury. No procedural practice can prevent all injuries, especially when paintball playersdo not follow safety instructions. The ultimate responsibility for preventing injury lies with thepaint

4、ball player. This practice, however, intends to promote safe paintball field operation throughstandardization of operating practice.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes minimum safety requirements for the operation of paintball playing fields, and provides for certainmaterials and procedures requir
