Re: Bumper "Side" Clarification \ Vertical bumper?

I don't see a rule that requires the bumper to be continuous. However, it is implied that the 8" side must be continuous. So, you could mount one section a 4" high, and another section at 12" high, but the 2 sections must abut each other.

Does anyone else see this configuration as illegal?
Nothing requires the bumper to be level. While the rule, as written, says the bumper must be 8", I am virtually certain that the 8" rule will be enforced with respect to the frame perimeter, and not the bumper length.
