Right before tip we notice that the girl getting ready to jump has a metal pin in her hair to keep her ponytail in place. She's not legally equipped.

We seem to always just tell her to take it out and go on.

Why do we ask the question ? Is it to protect ourselves somehow if there's a problem?
Absofreakinglutely. If we don't, in this litigious society, we start a game, some girl's earring rips out, and we get sued because we didn't make her take it out.

We ask the coaches - and THEY are liable, not us.
