G40 "A ROBOT may not cause a BOULDER to move from the NEUTRAL ZONE into the opponent’s COURTYARD unless:
A. the ROBOT contacts the BOULDER within OUTER WORKS, and
B. the ROBOT completes its CROSSING (e.g. doesn’t completely back out of the OUTER WORKS into the NEUTRAL ZONE)
Violation: TECH FOUL per BOULDER"
Using the human player in that way would clearly be illegal under G40. No precedent, no gray area, it's illegal.
The bar wont flip over and get tangled because its a bar in sleeve design on the official fields.
G40-1 is not the rule that makes this illegal, it's an extension of the rule that makes this illegal.
Hopefully that puts a nice bow on this discussion. Good luck folks
