>A too-recent collision would be a dangerous area because of the excessive density. This doesn't seem like it should be a problem. The space miners don't need to jump straight to the middle of the debris field; they can just start at the very edges. The density of the debris field won't be uniform; it'll be spread out, even shortly after the collision. They can just go to the less-dense areas at the periphery, where it's safer.
