God smote someone for trying to steady the Ark of the Covenant and keep it from falling.

Yup, HE sure did!

(How safe do YOU feel ;^)

Not quite accurate. God smote Uzzah because he was not of the tribe of Levi. According to Deut. 10:8, only the tribe of Levi (the priests) were allowed to handle the ark.

Thus Uzzah was not smitten for saving the ark, but for disobedience.
