Protecting your board against accidental shorts

There is the Ruggedized Arduino board. The following link explains a bit how they protected their product in comparison with a regular Arduino. Just as an example. Not to be considered as a recommendation for buying it. As we don’t know enough about the circuits involved and impact of altered signal response. Nor is this a fool-proof solution. Just better odds of surviving.
