There are no inherent risks of laser tag.
LASER stands for Light Amplification of Stimulated Emission of Radiation so there is radiation involved however you are exposed to more radiation within one minute of exposure to the sun or your household microwave than you would be in a multitude of laser tag games.
Anytime you're exposed to the general public, you are also exposed to their actions, so from time to time people can sustain injuries from others who make physical contact (which is against the rules in all public laser tag facilities) or by fall down or "running" into a wall, etc.
The lasers themselves pose absolutely no danger to people. The lasers used in laser tag are classified as a Class II cosmetic laser and is less intense than what you would find at the grocery store checkout or a laser pointer.
Additionaly, at most facilities, laser tag is a play at your own risk game and as most laser tag companies use a simulated fog in their arena and flashing lights, some asthmatics and those with photosensitive epilepsy are encouraged not to play.
Very true, The laser does no harm to you, unless you aren't listening to the rules, or hurt yourself while hiding, there is no way you could be harmed. the rules are:
-no running-you couldn't fall.
-No lying down, sitting, or kneeling-noone will trip over anyone
-no jumping or climbing- you wont fall off anything.
so have fun.

There actually is one harm of laser tag from the lasers which may cause blindness if seen by the eye but it is unlikely.

Yes - as with any public entertainment venue, laser tag is a play at your own risk game. That said, the types of lasers used in laser tag are of a lower "class" than those used for surgery or military purposes, and even less intense than laser pointers used in everyday life which can cause harm to the eyes if exposed for a short time period. The lasers used in laser tag are classified as a Class II cosmetic laser where cosmetic does not mean used for cosmetic surgery. Class II cosmetic lasers do not cause bodily harm, however it's never a good idea to expose your eyes to any laser classification for an extended period of time.
