Some safety rules are not for others. Most hidden jewelry has the ability to puncture. That alone qualifies it as a safetey hazard for the wearer, if not for someone else.

Then does a retainer qualify as a hazard for the wearer. I would argue that could also puncture the wearer and come out and injure a player.

After seeing your clarifications in this post, I believe that our positions are not so different afterall.
