hits the TOGA button while pushing back engines running

Unlikely, its hard enough to find the TOGA buttons when you actually need them
Unlikely? Not when you happen to know that a pilot inadvertently pressed one of the "hard to find" TOGA buttons while taxiing at Sydney a few months ago. Fortunately the slow wind-up of the thrust was immediately noticed before it got dangerous and the disconnect button in the thrust levers hurriedly actuated. Have seen it happen in the simulator once or twice.
