I had posted earlier asking about the bolts on the goal protruding below the goal base, and Doyle (I believe - my connection is too slow to go back and search) pointed me at excellent photo documentation of the FIRST Kickoff goal on his team website. Sure enough, it is ugly under there.

Tonite, one of our coach/parents pointed out that a goal rolling up onto the instep of a person's foot puts those gnarley bolt ends right into a pretty important part of the human machine anatomy. We're wearing shoes up here in NH right now, but sandal time is coming soon in Orlando. Am I being ridiculous to worry about this? Does anyone else see a high probability accident waiting to happen? Any reason not to prevail on FIRST to cut the excess bolt length off?
