Bridge safety during field reset

Seems there has been little discussion concerning safety after a match completes. We'll have bots on either end of a balanced bridge, and removing one will cause the other to suddenly drop. This will there are a bunch of people on the field trying to gather up balls, move and retrieve other bots, etc.

Also, a bridge may be near a tipping point and just laying a hand on a bot causes it to move one foot up or down suddenly. Just seems like accidents waiting to happen.

I only recall reading a warning about the bridge mechanism's pinch points, but not about 150 lb bots falling two feet suddenly.
