All the bumper rules seem to point to having them horizontal. Stacked is stacked is stacked: If I put two blocks in a stack, then tip it over sideways, is it still a stack? No. Replace "blocks" with "pool noodles".

If you really want to, Q&A it. I have a hunch that the GDC will say, "Are you out of your mind?" or something similar.
