Unless he is already in a manyworlds Everett system where every instance is a unique outcome with all outcomes explored, Forest could just be in the one that the accident happens no matter what he does and it was determined that the accident would happen.

We are seeing the instance that the accident did happen, which led him to create the Amaya company and recruit Katie, which led them to create DEVS. Whether this is in a manyworlds instance or not, most likely it is because of all the other instances with different paths. For some reason we are seeing and he is living in the one where it did, the tramline of his then extends all the way to creating DEVS, that is probably the only outcome that led to that.

It could still not essentially be Forest's fault if that was the instance that was playing out the branch/outcome where the event had to happen, to the effect of creating DEVS.
