I see your point in extreme circumstances.

But who's safety are you worried about here. Catcher's already hurt. Killing the play doesn't heal him faster. I'd almost say that killing the play too early can have as much a negative effect on safety as not killing the play. You kill a play that is still apparently live, and you run the risk of having half of the players think it's live, and the rest not paying attention - this could cause further injury as well.

There are cases of injury where I would kill the ball. This one is not even close to being one of them.
