That seems a pretty bad design flaw.

Just wondering if anyone takes their trem arms off before racking? I suspect it's case by case for each individual including where they're using their rack. For me in my HS, generally no, but overruled by as occasion necessitates dependent upon three factors. 1. Rack occupancy mostly. 2. Who is using it, i.e. only me or me and/or guests, and 3. Tremolo arm insertion mechanism. Occupancy first. If the rack is sat empty e.g. put out only for the duration of jamming with guests -I have sufficient wall hanger, floor stand and hard case provision to accommodate all of my guitars elsewhere if needs be, I tend to leave the rack as a provisioning convenience purely for them or supply them with a floor stand if necessary. Where my five rack only has to accommodate two or three typical solid body electric guitars, removing the tremolo arms is unnecessary. As is, the left hand end guitar slot facilitates tremolo on storage even with a full rack. Throw a couple of acoustics and another electric into the mix, and other than that slot it's wisest they come off, or that guitar sat or hung elsewhere. Who is using it. When it's me only using it as a convenience, occupancy and the need to triage wouldn't arise. When it's guest/s? Hey, there'll be no risk to any of my guitars sat in the rack. Tremolo arm mount mechanism. Of my eight solid body electrics, I have three guitars with vibrato bridges. Two use a screw-in mount and tend to project higher, the other has a (preferred) bridge with a push-in/pull-out interference fit tremolo arm. The latter takes a single second removal and refit. It'd go in the rack if necessary and available space were tight.
