Blind Man Rule - Airsoft Rules
Posted by AirsoftGuns.
One of our favorite safety features applied in airsoft games that prevent unnecessary injury is the “Blind Man” rule. Almost every airsoft field follows this basic safety rule to keep this sport safe for their players. We’ve been trying to find the statistics on this but have had no luck so far but by personal experience the rules like “Blind Man” has kept the danger on the field to a minimum.
Most airsoft players know the number one rule on fields is wearing proper airsoft protection for the face; regulation goggles or glasses. However the “Blind Man” would come in handy when this number one rule is tampered with.
What is the “Blind Man” rule?
One of the simpler rules any player can perform when necessary. An airsoft player can yell the words, “Blind Man” if he or she sees another player or bystander on the field without the proper eye protection on. For example would be if a player’s facemask or glasses has fallen off putting them in danger of getting severely injured. Then having another player noticing this and yelling, “Blind Man”, which will cause the airsoft game to immediately stop and all players must cease from shooting until the circumstances is resolved. Every player must remember that these words or only used in emergency situations and gun problems are not considered as an emergency.
So next time your on the field remember these two words, “Blind Man”. It could save you or another player from getting hit by an airsoft pellet in the face without protection.
