Hmm. I find that people that are not used to using these manual tools seem to think that they can master them within minutes. I am involved in a community project and I have said that I want the use of mattocks banned until further notice. That brings up a problem when you have some people who are trained and or competent with them moaning that it isn't their fault that there are people who aren't. (I have to say your scenario brought up an image of Homer Simpson in the garden)

Fitness is also an issue especially when fatigue kicks in.
