Mr. Skywagn 180: Thanks for the very informative dissertation which I am answering because it falls right after my post. Your choice of writing without any form of paragraph and/or association of thought makes me wonder if you were answering to me, "Hossfly", or possibly the original poster of this forum.

Therefore I offer several comments pertaining to me.
(1) I am a Life Member of AMA, yet I donate considerably more each year to AMA and its facilities. I follow AMA rules and regs. as well as I can.
(2) I have been an AMA Contest Director for 3 months short of 51 years from very small local events through Manpower Director and Assistant Director at The AMA Nationals, plus both elected AMA Official (DVP, Dist VI 2 terms), and appointed positions throughout these years.
(3) In my 41 years of USAF and Airline Pilot career I have been well versed in Safety and I do my best to take Safety VERY seriously, yet I also entertain any and all offerings from those having also enjoyed actual experience in those areas where safety is a needed application especially when so many individuals either ignore or simply not versed in the need for extraordinary Safety needs. You know such as "text-ting" while driving.
(4) Therefore my paint ball set-up will always have a possibility of having an accident. I would never call anything accident-proof. Why do you think Pylon Racing has so many rules. A very good friend of mine had a control failure, the aircraft did a big loop and came into the pylon cage killing a very fine person. SHOT happens. I do not want such to happen to you, me or anyone else.

Again, Thanks for the information.
