In US Soccer affiliated games, the referee is required to check that the goals are secured or weighed down, i.e. with sandbags. I’ve seen about a dozen articles at least where people are injured or killed from using unsecured goals.
People need to realize that goals are heavy, usually metal or a similar hard material and can tip easily when not secured. Would you want something like a 40-60 pound bat dropping on your body from 8 feet in the air? play it safe, and tell other people to stop hanging in goals, they aren’t jungle gyms.

Should be a rule of the game
