Yet, we passed inspection.......twice.
That is a g19-1 rule which is given to refs. g19-1 is intended to be more independent of the ri's than g7-a, hence the separate, but overlapping rule.

That said, sagging fabric is more forgivable (tell them to fix before next time you are on the field) than the entire bumper sagging (which implies an attachment may have a problem).
