Let your friend convince his parents. Don't meddle in their affairs.

I'm all for convincing his parents. Tell them that its safer than most sports that they would want him to play instead of paintball. Then prove it with statstics via the internet and maybe a celebrity or two.

^^^Don't know but paintball is a very safe sport when responsibility and safety are upkept. Wear protective gear (i.e. masks, neck protecters, golves if necessary, and don't have bear skin showing)

Talk to them about safety and such.

you really dont need all that gear me and my buddy played yesterday and all i had was a mask, shorts and a T shirt and i was fine it just hurts a little more.(we were within 15 feet from each other too)

As for convincing the parrents, take them out paintballing paint em up give em a first hand experince that paintballing is safe and FUN

just do this easy little task called sucking-up. do the same thing u did to get your dog.(ex. i'll take care of it, i wont shoot it unless i'm paintballing, ect.) Give it a try, it worked for me.
