The most insulting thing I heard about this is that he reported the bay door more than once for being in need of repair, they repeatedly ignore and didn't fix it. He then gets his arm permanently injured and they can't find a job doing something with one arm. They should be paying him out a 7 figure sum yearly for causing his injury through neglect. I hope he is able to successfully sue them for an unreasonable amount of of money.

This is exactly something that the government and government regulation should be protecting against and providing remedies for

After all, the entire point of a government is organized citizenry aligning on how they want society to operate.
