Mainly avoidable by procedure- like offloading baggage from the rear before the front empties.

Maybe it was a group of the anvil collectors club crowded in the aft section waiting for the aisle to clear before lugging their prize anvils out to the terminal.

Some aircraft have provisions for a tail stand for this reason. https://simpleflying.com/aircraft-tail-stand/
