What's the reasoning behind this? To prevent injuries? Have there been

*My* reasoning is that it is a secondary, not just a glove, and thus
SCA rules don't allow the contact, just as I cannot push or strike you
with my buckler.<br>
<br>
You may be right with what you implied here, that the contact would not
be unsafe.<br>
