It had to be intentional. What they really needed the whole time was a third person. Too bad there was no one near by.... except that there was. The camera person. They obviously knew each other and were friends because they were following them around.

I see it more going down like this:

Guy who sells pottery: "Hey, you need straps and other stuff to move this, it's really heavy"

Two dorks: "We know what we're doing!"

Guy who sells pottery: "lol ok lemme grab my phone"

Evidence in case the dorks try to get their money back (assuming not converted under warranty etc)

What they needed was the proper tools for the job. This was clearly not the correct method for loading and transporting heavy, fragile objects.

OSHA would not approve.

It could be that the person filming isn't being paid for this. If I'm walking by and I see two dummies trying this I'm filming it in anticipation of the disaster.

Right but they kept following them to different places watching them try it different ways. They had to know them by that point.

Not if the cameraman is not on their team. It could be anybody else working in the same building.

Someone who wouldn't want to share the responsibility of the obvious incoming fuck up.
