How much leeway should keepers have for "protecting" themselves?

Very scary moment in Ukraine on Sunday
Older incident from 2007 (chosen because of the commentator's comments)
There are many more examples of this happening. IMO, the keeper should have received a red card in both incidents. Do keepers have too much leeway right now in "protecting" themselves?

I dont know if the keeper really saw the guy right under him in the 1st one. Hard to tell. Looked accidental to me. Scary moment though
The 2nd one is an outright mugging

Keepers are trained to jump with that knee up for protection. I think the first one was fine - just unfortunate. The second one seemed a bit deliberate to me.
I'm sure there are a lot more videos of keepers getting laid out and broker Peter Cech style than there are field players getting broken by keepers. If you're a player, you know exactly what the keeper is doing and that the knee will be high.

I'm a keeper. Goalies are trained two different styles, jumping with the knee straight out to create space(between you and the striker) and gain momentum for higher jumps. The other is jumping with your knee up and to your side to protect your junk, definitely the safer option for the opponent. Keepers definitely take advantage of the rule, however, I can't count the amount of times I've had an extra kick at my hands and legs(and at my head when crouched over the ball) from players apparently going after the ball. I think it goes both ways.
