Personally, I worry more about what will injure an opposing player as opposed to something that may only be harmful to the wearer.
Player slides into 2nd as 2nd tags. As runner slides fielder's fingers catch into the band. The band could break a finger or wrist. Not worth the risk to me. In fact, I think a regular chain bracelet is safer than the rubber bracelets, at least the chain will break, the rubber ones won't.
