Anything that can damage thescalp can potentially damage the newly transplanted grafts, i.e. severe sunburns, trauma, etc.
Great question! Very little can damage grafts at this point, but keep in mind the study did not take into account factors such as traumatic injury that causes significant bleeding (hitting your head on the kitchen cabinet or car door). It is unlikely to cause damage but this has never been addressed.All in all, at 14 days grafts are quite secure and the risk for loss from most external forces is extremely low.

I am one of the authors on that paper with Dr, Bernstein. Once the crusts are gone, the grafts are secure and if you pass the 14th day with no crusting, no problem.
