Paintball capsules travel at around 190mph (305kph) although they do slow down before impact.They generally contain food colouring or gelatine and can leave paintballers with bruising if fired at close range.A spokesman for UK Paintball said they were now taking precautions to make sure women with breast implants avoided injury, but said he thought it was the first accident of its kind in the UK.He said: "Part of the fun of paintball is that it hurts a bit when you get shot but in all the years we've been going we've never seen an incident like this."It came as a real surprise to hear that a woman had her implant burst at one of our centres and whilst she's going to make a full recovery, we want to ensure nothing like this happens ever again."
