Question question on launching boxes

It's been brought up by many people in the 'launching boxes' forum, but really, what happens if a box or two gets launched into the audience (for one reason or another)? Does the team get DQ'd? Will they be penalized in some fashion? I mean, come on! You have to wonder if the people at FIRST thought about this in advance. They have all these things in the rules about launching boxes (ie: you can only use the surgical tubing, etc etc etc.), but they say nothing about what if a box is "mis-flung"? Yeah, accidents happen, but glacier tubs flying through the air with a LOT of force behind them REALLY have the potential for harm to anyone within 30-40 or so feet. This could mean the endangerment of the refs and judges, the players, and onlookers. Quite frankly the idea scares me. The idea behind letting us fling boxes might've been good, but the potential for harm which it has probably wasn't completely thought through by those at FIRST. Maybe someone should send an e-mail to FIRST asking about that? I think it would be a pertinent question.

What do you people think?
