Perhaps a start to ending accidents of this nature would be ending the practice of climbing over benches to approach or leave the table during Seuda Shlishis in shul. The practice of putting the benches together does not encourage togetherness. On the contrary it encourages people to be reckless and frivolous. Separate seats would be much better from both a spiritual and practical point of view.
