Sounds like MagSafe has allowed people to treat their laptops like crap. Seriously I love MagSafe but the stories people describe make it sound like you have cables dangling around and you just walk into them on purpose.
At home, it's usually not an issue. But working in airports or coffee shops I'm often amazed at the disregard others have for high-end equipment. I always try to position myself in a low-traffic zone, but sometimes that isn't always possible so MagSafe is a godsend.
Hmmmm I’ve only used laptops in airports in Asia and there is always seats with plugs next to them so the chances of someone tripping is non existent.
