Stop Coddling Me.

Now, I'm not gonna say this is a bad idea (I did hit a railing pretty good which sent me tumbling and my phone flying) but it is a ridiculous idea. Treating people as if they can't be trusted with their own safety is a concept that will destroy humanity. One day you'll wake up covered in bubblewrap with feeding and breathing tubes strapped to your face.

I'm more a subscriber to the "what did you learn?" philosophy. And this is a prime example of a non-lethal learning experience. Substantial stimulus, minimal impact to others, valuable lesson... I can't see a downside to texters walking into unpadded metal poles. Can you?
