As long as you wear a mask there is no chance of a death...... however being shot in the eye has a chance to cause brain damage, and cause enough trauma to kill.

That being said, If you wear your mask and play safely, Paintball is less dangerous than Football, hockey, jogging, fishing, swimming, or even Bowling.

Most of the possible serious injuries are prevented by eye, mouth, and ear protection. A paintball can definitely blind you if you're not wearing eye protection. A paintball can rupture your eardrum without ear protection. You can chip a tooth without mouth protection. Under regular game conditions (guns properly chronographed below 300) you have almost no chances of being killed without previous conditions.

While it's possible to die in bizarre ways, such as tripping while playing paintball and hitting your head on a rock, really the only thing that has a chance of killing you worth worrying about are the tanks. It is especially important to follow proper procedures when unscrewing an air tank from a paintball gun. This is the where you could accidentally unscrew the tank from its burst disk, making the tank into a lethal rocket, which has killed people.

No. a properly chronographed paintball (300fps) at close range only produces 9 foot pounds of energy, and since the neck is mainly soft tissue and the force is applies only momentarily and the shock would be dampened. Even if the Paintball pushed and completely closed the windpipe, it could only do so momentarily, causing "the wind to be knocked out of you". It does hurt severely however and neck protectors are available at most Paintball shops
