This is really a non-issue.  1) Non-root users won't be able to unmount
/, /home, etc.  2) Even root can't unmount a filesystem that's in use.
Go ahead:  open a terminal, 'su' to root, and type 'umount /'.  Watch
while it says "device is busy" and just ignores you.  If you unmount a
filesystem that isn't in use, then... so what?  Nothing bad will happen.
