I don't know how this works against us though.

Considering our weights are on the very outer edge of the plastic hub, pushing them outward away from rotation keeps them more solidly in place.

Ok, centripetal vs. centrifugal is an easy mistake. If your weights are on the outer edge, that still sounds scary. Do you mean that they are on the inside of the outer rim? In other words, if you imagine a smiley face painted on the non-adhesive side of the weight, would it be facing towards the axle? That would be okay. If it's facing away from the axle, that's very scary; if it's facing parallel to the axis of rotation, that's a little scary.

Maybe you could post a photo?

Of course, if your team is convinced that it's safe, then you only need to convince the inspectors, not me.
