When the energy shoots out the positive terminal, it will heat up anything in its path. If there is another cell in its path it will heat that cell up and cause it to go into thermal runaway, which causes a chain reaction if many cells are connected in this way (thermal runaway propagation). If however, we remove all the cells from the path of this thermal runaway energy, we should be able to reduce the chance of thermal runaway propagation. This was the motivation to not have any cells stacked vertically on top of each other.
Another great presentation on TR propagation minimization:
