I would say if the bumpers are on a moving hinge, they are no longer rigid and therefore do not meet the above requirement in <R08>. That is my opinion, but it would be a good question for the Q&A.

Interesting idea, but I would probably start working with the accelerometer or another way to deploy the touch sensor as a backup in case the Q&A says it is illegal.
