That, and the Portcullis is dangerous to build and transport, because of the springs.
I agree with those who have suggested playing the CDF in every off-season match. If it were up to me, I would retire all the Drawbridges as well -- and beef up the Sally Ports.
All of the defenses have seen hard use this year, but the Portcullis is the biggest safety risk.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
