Is using a Thudguard being “over protective”?

Quite the opposite!  Research has shown that "over protective parents" tend to dread and avoid the "learning to walk" phase as much as possible.   By their own admission, "over protective parents" claim that they have literally kept their babies in a bubble and may have involuntarily hindered their children as a result of their paranoia, causing them to become late developers in an attempt to evade the pain of their child falling over.  Source: ILA independent questionnaire survey/Yahoo/Health/Parenting Health Centre.

Until you have a toddler of your own, other people's stories about how traumatic it was chasing their little wobblers around sound just a tad hysterical. I mean really, how hard can it be to keep up with a tiny person whom any grown-up can outrun in a race? It's when you become the warden of a toddler yourself that you realise speed isn't the issue; it's the length of the race and the unpredictability of the terrain.
