The very next time a safety official does that, I suggest that as many team members as possible get around him and count three, then ROAR "Robot" at him at the top of their lungs. Then, after the match, figure out who to send a complaint letter to about a safety inspector requiring an unsafe practice and furthermore interfering with a team's safe operation to do it.
