Unprotected Players or Bystanders
Unprotected
Players or Bystanders
A player and any observer near an
airsoft game site is
required to keep his or her face mask, goggles, or shooting glasses on at
all times. This is a standard safety requirement upon an airsoft site and
this
rules is always enforced by the marshal in charge to ensure that all
players and observers remain safe and no accidents occur during the
gameplay.
All airsoft players must immediately stop shooting when a
person without eye protection is encountered in the playing area. One
commonly adopted practice is for players to shout the words "Cease-fire,
Blind Man!," "Heads up, Pedestrian!," "Noncombatant!," or "Walker!" and halt
an ongoing game if a player or bystander is seen in the designated game play
area without proper eye protection: goggles and a helmet. Any airsoft player
hearing the words must, in turn, stop and also shout the words, resulting in
a chain reaction which halts and alerts the whole game.
Once the situation is resolved by properly removing
the unprotected person from harm, the airsoft game is usually resumed at the
same point at which it was stopped. It may be smart to move to a different
area after a safety call so you don't give away your location.
