If you want to hang on it, your opponents will thank you. It's part of the Ball Return (specifically, the return bars) and covered with black tape (Section 6.2.4). According to <G31>, inadvertent contact is a penalty and intentional contact is a red card.

I can't find anything on the team drawings or the official field drawings, probably at least partly because that bar is not to be hung on.
