My Japanese is dying because I haven't used it properly in 2 years (now the non english parts of my twitter are largely broken gaijinese).
But that story was lol. By the sounds of it, it'll be the driver getting in the brown stuff because they took off without the guard. Unless the guard had belled them, they wouldn't have the authority to proceed.
And since it's JR West, he'll indeed be in for a hammering. Nice to know he didn't crash though considering the delay.

Looks like a rum week for JRW:

<- It's late December, and some bloody baka decides to set up his cameras trackside of the barrier to capture some rare iron, gets a much-deserved bollocksing instead. Remain in no doubt: Had he been hit by a train, there would have been blood and broken bones all over - but most emph no brains.

The Japanese Darwin Awards. That diligent trainman made sure the guy was only a runner-up.

I recall seeing some pictures of a similar incident on JR East lands a couple of weeks ago. A fair few had set their tripods in the corridor and it just so happened that one driver of an Azusa pulled an emergency stop and told them off.

No way was that caused by a Yaris! Maybe it ran into one of these blockheads?
