I think there are two questions (1) is it a foul that can be the basis of an objection to the finish order and (2) is it something that is condoned by the authorities as justified by safety.
For example, excessive whipping can't be the basis for an objection or changing positions, but it can be punished on safety grounds.
So, I would make Roman's question a two part question.
