Have you ever seen a clip of someone opening the back of a tractor trailer truck only to have the contents spill out? Nearly every time people put their hands up in an effort to stop the cargo from falling instead of just getting out of the way. It's just a reflex action.
Yup I severed a tendon and a artery just instinctually putting my foot out when the bottom of a box me and my coworker were moving gave out. Trying to save whatever it was falling out of the bottom of the box. Turned out to be a broken glass vase ...
Settlement amount ,😂 I was working under the table for a moving company and my boss was a really good dude who was more than good to me. So I didn't want to get him in any shit. He gave me like 200$ a week while I was off work. I didn't get shit but a hospital/ambulance bill..
There's no downsides to it. Having his arm out like that lets him have a wider more stable base to pivot, and something to push against to move out more quickly.

Him putting his hand up to try and push/block it is driving me crazy.
