These are great questions, and I can straight-forwardly say that I don't know the answers to them and want to know, especially why my hiviz and beacons might be dangerous. (I can make guesses, but that's not the sensible option)
I would love to see a section on these forums that responders and others could use as a resource for such information and other Responder-relevant questions.
