So what, is it that much of an advantage anyway compared to a stomach, spine or even head injury
I don't think a minor foul like this should affect the safety of the game, especially in the goal area where falls can be more chaotic with people falling simultaneously, you can't always control where you're going to land and who's going to end up on top of you.
If it's such an issue, can't goal refs call this sort of thing anyway? Is a tapout the punishement for it? The goal ref should be looking for this since it may affect the validity of a goal.
