Well, I don't know what happens if the tetras suddenly fall over (by themselves) 40sec after someone caps it. To me, it was stable when he capped it, so he did not "cause" the falling over. But that's me, so I don't know for sure, but it seems this particular case may be unlikely.

But, if a stack were so high, and you accidentally ran into a goal and they toppled, then you would get penalties (like below). I couldn't find the Q/A or rule about that, but I remember seeing it somewhere.

If you try to cap it, and things fall over, then I believe the opponent owns that goal for the remainder of the match, and I believe all the opponents tetras on that goal would be counted (going by G18).

Not to mention the safety issues and possible damage to the tetras if they all fall over... what a sight it would be. Suggest thinking about another goal if a goal is capped more than 11-12 high.
