First off, gopher holes and tree stumps were not part of your first post.
Second, If I deem a situation dangerous, I would not umpire the game. However, what is considered dangerous is a judgement call and requires discernment.
I was perhaps a bit too sarcastic with my first response but your OP struck me as being overprotective.
Here's my thinking:
1. Rather than refusing to play, suggest a ground rule that if the ball goes near the bench it's a GR double.

I think pointing to it and saying stay away from the bench should suffice.
