IMO it isn't all about whether you have an explicit intent to hurt someone, rather it's about using the wrong technique in a situation where you know that someone could get hurt. The defender gets paid a LOT of money to be one of the best at this sport, so there is a reasonable expectation that they will make every attempt to preserve their coworkers' safety.
