Though, in all fairness, they can still pack a punch. At the Championship a couple of years ago, I intentionally took a hit from one that'd had about five feet of run-up to show a fellow FVC ref that they're safe. I was pushed back a bit, but unhurt--and that's with 250-pound, healthy-as-an-ox me against a significantly smaller rider atop it. Were I more frail, I'd be a little more concerned.
I could see mandating the use of the black key (or beginner mode, depending on the unit), but I'm with him--an outright ban is unwise.
