So, knowing and enforcing the rules plays a big part in our being immune from liability.

It would be negligence if we ignore a rule and someone gets hurt. We are discussing something that is not even official or very clear. If the NF does not want a string, then they should say they do not want a string. Outside of this, we are speculating what the legality might be considered. I have never put something in my hair to keep it tied up. I have no personal knowledge of why someone uses one type of hair piece as compared to another.
