I’m impressed you did that without back pain :)
Just to be clear though
1. I said I got back pain just standing on concrete, without actually lifting anything
2. People are super bad at lifting things properly, so I’m sure a reasonable number of injuries are “avoidable”
3. I’m not saying that everything in this was realistic (there are some questionable options), just that this particular case is super plausible. After all the equivalent in tech is RSI/OOS (whatever it’s called now), and that’s super common even though avoiding it is way easier than avoiding back problems when your job is picking things up.
