Bumper bracket and weight considerations

Even though a quick release pin is the best way to mount bumpers, it's technically been illegal since bumpers have been around.

I wish the bumper rules were changed a little bit to allow methods of retaining the bumpers that are strong and quick to be released, yet are not strictly bolt and nut interfaces.
