It may be excessive, but what you are saying to me is what the fouls are for. If you were not paying attention you could possibly get hurt.
I understand your point, but I feel like if FIRST was fully concerned about safety, they wouldn't have allowed teams to intentionally rifle balls out of the field of play to their Human Players as part of normal game strategy. I'm surprised we haven't seen anyone field side get hurt from one of these shots.
