Several things wrong with this. 1 the hook in the end of the pipe instead of using a choker sling.
Even a plate grab with loaded locking would have been better than just sliding the hook in the end of the pipe.
Another is the guy being so lazy he has to sit down while waiting for the load to be raised and sitting of all places a straddle of the very piece of dunnage he is going to slide under the load.
I wonder if it hit him hard enough to prevent future procreation
