I don't know about up North, but if a lawyer ever found out that you had an oppurtunity to safely stop a game and didn't, and there was an injury, you would probably be held more liable than your partner.

Safety is EVERYBODY'S responsibility.

Here, is a time when bending the rules is not only acceptable but, very wise.
