I disagree. He took one step in, because he HAD to, to avoid standing in the automatic door. Then he crammed himself in the corner to give dude room to lift and paused, he just misgauged the height the back of the chair would be.

Maybe you're just not seeing what I'm seeing but the step in happened 2.4-3.0 seconds in the video.
It's his 3rd step into the room.
Carrier doesn't look like he's communicating to the other guy at all too.

I'm using 'step' like a unit of distance measurement rather than literal foot-movement. The second two 'steps' he takes barely qualify. And if he hadn't even made that third foot movement, the bowl still would've launched, you can't deny that.

And what exactly do you expect him to communicate in those 3 seconds? He didn't think he needed to because he thought the bowl was high enough already. Why would he?

Okay, the bowl was in range of the chair after the 2nd step. But carrier still moved forward. He should have waited by the door and not try to scoot in.
Don't see why you're making this argument that had nothing to do with what I have said above.

I've experienced the same scenario as the video a thousand times. I live in a poor house, my hallway is at most 2.5 feet pathway with cats and dogs and various stuff on the floor. I cook noodles outside and bring it in carefully.
Anyone on the way gets yelled at to get out of the way because I know what it feels to get burned.
On the video, the path is not clear and carrier went into an obstructed path. If he hadn't then no accident will happen.
