I would be VERY cautious with using a drop-down active bumper system. If someone tips over while it's active next to them, you're probably going to get warned, possibly carded and penalized. Also, bear in mind the expansion rules, and that you're putting extra weight in there that could probably be better spent elsewhere.

Just some things to keep in mind.

You *might* be able to pull your first option off within the rules, but the "rigid mounting" might get you, at least last year it would have.
