This accident is completely the companies fault, but what kind of idiot tries to operate a forklift while standing next to it?

Now,I wasnt injured or anything,but this kinda reminds me of way back when I temporary had a job at a warehouse.I had just gotten my forklift license which only included 10mins of actual driving.

My first every forklift job was to move a bunch of 5m long steel tubes in free form through a 3m long door, down a declining road where I was forced to keep the tubes in 2,5 height so they wouldnt hit the stored stuff on each side of the road. I managed it, but no supervision or anything was ever give.
