Re: Bumper Thickness

R29 C. "use a stacked pair of approximately 21⁄2 in. (nominal) round, petal, or hex “pool noodles” (solid or hollow) as the BUMPER cushion material"
however it goes on to say this "Noodle compression as a result of smoothing BUMPER fabric is not
considered deformed. Any compression beyond that, e.g. for the
purposes of flattening the noodle, is deformation and a violation of R29-" so how much of that is ok?

In the past are bumpers have always been around 3 inches thick including playwood and mounting brackets. Is that ok?
