I think you can check the CPSC site to find more on actually stove tipping / crush incidents. I think in most cases the stove isn't on when it happens either.
Still, locking the oven door when there is something hot on a burner might be a good idea.

My oven can lock when it's on. Better be damned sure that I'd lock my oven if I had little kids around.
I've not seen one that locks in any mode other than self clean.
I can lock my oven any time I want. Unless the kid figures out how to unlock it (not hard), the cold oven is safe from tipping. I cannot have it both locked and on, unless in the self clean mode.
I've never heard of it. Must be pretty old/cruddy stoves that do it. The statistics don't mention the age of the stoves. A lot of people still have those "vintage" stoves. Perhaps that's it?
The site claims that the older stoves were OK. It's the newer stoves that tip.

My stove is not quite 3 years old and the instruction manual mentioned that it could tip. It didn't give the specifics of how to tip it and in the door closed position, I can not get it to tip. I've tried! 🙂 I can see how a kid standing on the door might make it tip though. It seems pretty lightweight as stoves go.

Husband is in the military still. Yes. Not living in military housing at the moment but he's stationed in Seattle.

Naples is a standard accompanied tour for the Navy.
