I'm afraid I have to disagree that the new way reduces injuries. If anything, the players that have adjusted to the change are more likely to cause a collision because the fielder will move into the path at the last instant and the runners are expecting the fielders to stay out of the way.
As for adjusting, runners still macho their way into fielders just like before Ray Fosse.
