We've used double bases for years.
It's true (and yes, frustrating) at the lack of educated players/coaches/fans AND umpires who understand or have even read up on its use.
But, it definitely reduces collisions and all the arguments those bring about.
Let me stir the soup and agitate a few folks by suggesting a similar system for home plate. A second home plate, where the catcher is simply not allowed to stand between the runner and that plate else the runner from third is safe. That would easily eliminate 95% of the arguments/debates/training that follow the collisions & obstruction/interference decisions at home plate.
