I can't argue the point of safety.  I refuse to compromise for anyone on 
that point.  You do whatever it takes to be safe.  I was a safety officer 
for many years while doing civil war reinactments.  We hid our "modern" 
equipment too.  Same thing, cover it up.

(Side note)
When doing civil war battles, one guy did a "compromise" on safety, he ended 
up blowing a hole in the back of his leg.
