I view the safety certifications more as a way to justify that the coaches are qualified to determine whether or not a particular athlete is ready (through progressions) to do the next level of skill. The safety certification qualifies that coach to CHOOSE whether or not an athlete is ready to progress, rather than force them to keep an athlete within a level. It's like a "you can trust me" certificate.
In other words, I see it as more of a gym based role, than a competition based role. By the time you GET to competition you should have a safe routine that falls within the rules.
