hitmanNo2 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Maybe he feels burdened with the gift of vision. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Jesus. Looking at him with the camera so there’s no way to claim he wasn’t spotted without eye pro... Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 AND even better now the owner of the site is threatening in not so many words anyone who brings the subject up ! Link to post Share on other sites
jal3 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I mean it's not very friendly, but on the other hand, why make a big thing out it (the initial situation). *suitcase* happens. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very very easy mistake to make for someone who wears prescription glases btw. I nearly did it myself once, buddy warned me before we left the safezone, seen people do it atleast twice before aswell.. You warn the guy when you spot it, no need for a lynching. Doodoo happens.

druid799 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Think the big thing is not so much the action of the player (as has been said if you wear glasses it can happen) I think the real stink comes from the site management’s attitude and lack of interest in the whole fiasco , you’ve got a player leaving the safezone without his eye pro on , where’s the marshal who should be checking the players as they leave it ? You’ve got said player in-game for apparently a good while un-spotted by the marshals and then when it has all gone pair shaped on-line you’ve got the site owner threatening people over it !

scorch Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Eye protection doesn't just protect your eyes. It protects the guy shooting at you from feeling awful if he blinds you. We're talking about the potential for a life changing injury here. It's not just 6 weeks in a cast or some stitches, its permanent. With that in mind, the attitude of that post from Skirmish Airsoft Billaricay is absolutely inexcusable. When it's a matter of safety, you should own your mistake and learn from it.

sandstorm Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Should they be reported to their insurers? The attitude is hardly professional and their focus doesn't seem to be in line with reasonable safety guidelines in insurance contracts for sports event management? Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 The appropriate response would be something along the lines of:“Thanks everyone for bringing this to our attention. It’s very few and far between that safety blunders happen, but when they do, please rest assured that our priority is on fixing it. We have made changes to the daily briefing, and from now on players are checked before they allowed in and out of the safe zone.” And I whipped that up sat on the toilet so...
