Well, yes and no. When it's just me and my bag, any bumping would be inadvertent and should be avoided.
When it's me and my two bags, I still strive to avoid, but more inadvertent bumping will occur.
When it's me and I'm carrying my baby and her car seat and my wife's bag and my bag, I must warn you that though I will still strive to avoid it, bumping will occur in coach. I apologize to you in advance, and will do so again on-site.
But to say it's always avoidable, is incorrect.
