I was learning a lot from this thread. I don't see the reason to start making it personal.

Rich Allen & Michael Wiggins. Wouldn't your more appropriate question be...
"What is the purpose of Courtney Pope having a Safety Certification?"
Because it's evident that this nothing but a means to continue you're assault on her tactics and program.
If it matters that much to you, I suggest you write to the Rules Committee and have your voice heard at their next meeting. You two are capable of achieving nothing but, making yourselves feel good because you keep this topic going. If something is going to be done it will be done on the committee level by those that serve with Courtney.
Try to be a little less transparent, you could have let this topic wait a week or so before dredging it back up for rehashing.
How can you micro manage every practice at every gym....goodness....Certify the coaches...deduct when there are violations in routines..move on....how can the USASF dabble into what goes on at every practice? It's like the Government taking away my salt etc...regulations most times lead to cost and control...set your rules for coaches and comps....thats it....no micro managing..we parents (customers) are not stupid...if we feel a coach is being "dangerous"...we wouldnt be there!!!! We don't need some regulator to tell us what our practice can be like..... IMO
As a parent... We respect the serenity part.... Govern what you have control over... Micromanaging and fretting about weather other gyms comply seems a waste of time....IMOEvery other sport has rules and enforcment of them. Does not seem to stop Baseball, Football, Hockey, etc
The issue I see is that the USASF implys they are the regulator to the parent that is just starting out.

I would hope and expect that he would become certified in Level 6 stunts if he was coaching an Allstar Team under a USASF Gym.
I'm not to sure about this, but do the rules have any impact on insurance in regards to injury? I would have thought that if you were doing skills that were outside what the rules allowed or the coaches were not certified to an appropriate level that it would impact on how covered by insurance, though I am not certain on the correlation.

I haver 4 children and all are involved in numerous sports. None of these other sports have rules for practice other than general safety rules.
Examples:
Football: required pads and mouthpiece must be used during contact drills.
Wrestling: headgear must be worn while wrestling.
Softball: batting helmet must be worn.
None of the governing bodies of these sports tell you as a coach what you can or can't teach at practice. They just make sure the athletes are safe and you are safe as a coach. If you teach football players to hold instead of block at practice you aren't breaking any rules until you play the game and get the penalty for your players holding.
USASF has the same general safety rules in place, if you don't know them they are located here - http://rules.fierceboard.com/?p=29
