Ramp deployment a hazard?

Is a robot allowed to simply use gravity to deploy its ramps? We are considering a mechanism that releases our ramps and allows them to fall like wings on either side of our robot. Or would this pose a safety hazard, and require it to be done in a controlled fashion (e.g. pulley and rope system)?
