More Info: SourceAn accident with a paintball gun left a mother dead on her son's 10th birthday, after the paintball battle had drawn to a close.
Colette Contois was killed instantly when the carbon dioxide canister that powered the gun of one of her son's friends unexpectedly separated from the weapon and hit her in the back of the head.
"Our whole lives changed as we know it," said her husband, Mark, who buried his wife nine days after the birthday party. Most paintball players don't know of the potential deadly danger of the canisters.
That sucks.
