I honestly believe that as officials of the game we have a responsiblity/duty to make the game as safe as we can. I believe that an umpire has the authority to remove from the game any piece of equipment which he/she feels is unsafe. I don't have my rulebook handy but I believe somewhere in rule 10 there is that broad stroke of "judgement" given to the umpire.
