For other races, I don't seriously think they had been worrying about them in future. Simply put: If they were smart enough to decipher what the Stargate was, then manage to get coordinates to other planets. Then they should be smart enough not to stand in front of the thing when a connection is taking place!

For the wormhole to activate it is needed. What they sometimes do is is close the Iris, that prevents it from wooshing out. Then they step through. If the Iris wasn't closed, then it would still happen. The Ancients had been using the things for over 50 million years. So I don't think any of them would ever have been stupid enough to stand in front of it while the gate had been dialling.

The non-kawoosh system probably uses some exotic system that the Ancients didn't think of or that can't be created by the lower-energy systems of the DHDs.When the time comes to utilize Earth's best weaponry against an ailen threat. The weapon that will ultimately prove to be Earth's best will be the Zatnikitel

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargat...9#The_Wormhole :
Once an address is dialed, the gate is said to have created a "stable wormhole" between itself and the gate dialed. The creation process is depicted with great consistency, and hence has become one of the defining motifs of Stargate, at times being central in both the SG-1 and Atlantis title sequences. It involves the generation of the "puddle of water" portal which lasts roughly 2 seconds, and is completed by the ejection of an unstable energy vortex called the "kawoosh" (since Crusade),[21] resembling a surge of water or quicksilver. The "kawoosh" is portrayed as a symbol of the Stargate's power, invariably causing characters to be awed.[22] Any matter which comes into contact with the "kawoosh" effect is destroyed, as is dramatically demonstrated by a pair of smoking shoes in the episode "Prisoners".[23]

i sometimes thought that when the gate dials without a kawoosh it's sort of like a "re-call" on a phone. the subspace connection is already in place between 2 places and, in the early seasons, they came up with an idea that you can just press a button and it automatically opens the gate tothe place you just came from (with inverted matter flow)Spoiler:Disclaimer:
