I still feel that way and I am very thankful that it doesn't happen often.

I don't believe I would feel quite the same way about a base runner tripping as he rounds one of the bases, but that's just me.
Something I had never seen, but did see in a game just a few days ago, was a runner getting caught in a rundown between 2nd and 3rd AND then ending up being safe at 3rd base. It was an opposing player so I wasn't thrilled about the outcome, but I was happy to see this be something captured in the game.
