"I believe you are much more likely to be injured by a wing or fuse than impaled by a skag."
There really isn't much of a safety issue here.
For some however the issue is generally more astetic and I'm guessing this was Bob's attempt at compromise.
But again, the CD for a contest can disallow, or allow skegs (or is it skags? I really like skags) by posting in contest announcement. A CD also has the authority to, and should not allow unsafe gear or practices, whatever that might be.
again, to quote Don, who also is a fine gentleman. I've also found him to be very wise as he says:
"A rule for the sake of a rule is no rule."
skag-on!
