Coaches, players and umpires... we have them all here. Welcome.
In your play, from what it sounds to me, it is "just a train wreck" and not obstruction.
As for your statement about safety bases, my belief is that they give only little benefit, especially if there are instances when the fielder is allowed to use the orange or the runner is allowed to use the white. Besides, errant throws are part of the game and "train wrecks" are just going to happen at times.
