I agree with Paul about safety not being the only reason for the loading zone penalty. It would be a vastly different game if there were not loading zone penalties, especially in the auto zone. Most teams would have a very difficult time picking tetras from the stand if they were being defended against while doing so. Still, if instead of 30 the penalty was, say, 10 points, there would be more "far end of the field" action which would make matches more interesting, and 10 points would certainly be enough to rule out "loading zone blocking and bashing" as a viable strategy.
