This is what your bosses say to do, so this is what you do and that's not your fault. I'll buy that. But the fact that these guys in charge order things contrary to the rules is a crock, if you ask me, which nobody ever does.

I think you would find it difficult to get any of the guys in charge or that teach this philosophy to agree that it is illegal. I have never asked for any particular person's reasoning regarding this issue, but I think they would make an argument that has already been raised in this thread. Leaning backwards is neither moving laterally, obliquely, or backwards. Nor is it strictly turning or ducking to absorb shock of imminent contact. An argument can be made, that it also violates the principle of verticality. I can see both sides of this argument, and frankly because I like to keep my boss happy by doing what they expect, I really do not see much benefit into analyzing it in that great of detail to see whether or not I agree with this theoretical argument.
