A. Visible hook-and-loop fastener on the BUMPER violates R27-D. Please review Figure 4-7 for a legal cross-section for BUMPER construction.
It seems like they are almost ruling velcro on bumpers illegal and hence reversible bumpers?

An argument could be that you design your velcro so it's not visible, but now we're stuck with defining visible!

What are other peoples interpretations?
