Finding the correct rule to limit this would be tricky.
I don't know about you, but I'd much rather get hit by a ball than whipped by a fishing pole/hockey stick/piece of PVC. I'm not sure what more can be done than making sure anything that has the potential to move is locked in place as part of the transport configuration, and that the driveteam is ready and willing to E-Stop in auto should something go wrong. Definitely not my favorite part of this game.
