Have you ever tried to break one of those rubber-band thingies? They're pretty strong and I feel if a runner and a fielder got tangled up and all the stars and planets were aligned and a finger got caught in that R-BT, a finger could be very sprained or even broken before that R-BT broke. It's not just me that feels this way either, our local umpire association has put out the word that we're not supposed to allow these things to be worn. We don't allow
ANY jewelry. We do allow medi-alert bracelets and necklaces but they need to be taped down.
