I'm kind of okay with that. HGV reversing gone wrong probably destroys buildings and mostly ones who have a contract with the HGV driver (perhaps indirectly). It's HGVs going forwards round corners in urban environments that worries me.
Your altruism is singularly commendable. Evidently it's OK if people in logistics warehouses are killed by reversing HGVs because it won't be you. Give yourself a big pat on the smug self-satisfied back.
Brommers-
I reckon you could take out 2 or 3 pillars of a warehouse before it falls down.
More seriously I think warehouse owners take the safety of their staff on premises more seriously as a death there opens them up to corporate manslaughter charges while running down people on the streets is an externality.
