I like the use of the Panduit wireway. I use the wireway quite often where I work for use on our automation equipment. It protects the wires while still allowing easy access to replace or change anything.

Unless, the makeup of the slotted material is non-metallic?
In competitions, things move around, wires get their jackets rubbed on nearby materials, and I just see something potentially bad happening here.

The wireway is plastic (ABS I believe). The wireway is designed not to have sharp edges, but of course you could create a sharp edge where you cut it to size. It would take a good or lucky hit for the wires to be significantly damaged inside the wireway, and if that was the case then most likely the damaged wires would be the least of your worries.
