Video says it wasn't from paintball. I like how they want to associate it with paintball.

That report seems disingenuous. First, they say that the individual suffered from a history of migraines (lot's of fun to hear them pronounce that one), then they turn around and say that this fatal migraine, after 10 days in the hospital, was triggered by getting struck by a paintball.

It seems to me that it's either one or the other. Either the person was killed by a paintball, which didn't happen. Or, playing paintball happened to trigger this event, which removes paintball from the equation entirely, except that he happened to be playing when it started.

I also think that the very beginning said he was shot in the back and not the head.

Yeah, I missed that part the first time around.

What the hell is a megraine?

"Meegraine" is how they often pronounce it over there.

Given the circumstances how they could attach any blame at all to the paintball part is beyond me. It could as easily have been a bee sting or any other factor that resulted in the same set of circumstances. The man was carrying a condition attached to a hair trigger that anything at all could have set off.

Common sense, which sadly isn't all that common any more, would chalk it up to a sad and very accidental set of circumstances, post a warning that people with medical conditions that are triggered by excitement or sudden movement should not play and get back to business.
