Should i install standing fan at home?

When kids were toddler,for safety reason i insisted on installing ceiling fans and there were several voices who told me ceiling fans were dangerous coz they would fall down.
In my limited life time, i have witnessed 2 occasions of standing fan accidents, one when i was 10 yo and the table fan had a short circuit where it nearly burnt down the whole room, another occasion was this one. See this for your self, the standing fan actually had broken into 2 parts right in front of my eyes. Luckily there was no short circuit.
In my limited life time too, of the 3 schools that i studied and the 4 schools that i taught, i have yet to witness a ceiling fan fell down knocking on anyone. Think of this, that the ceiling fans in school were supposed to be workhouse that work all day through at the maximum speed.
With CNY coming, if u r thinking of getting a brand new standing/table fan, think twice. Getting an eletrician to drill hole to install ceiling fan may seem troublesome, but in the long run, it's still the safest thing at home.
Let's take a look at the broken parts of the standing fan:
