Vulnerable to what? The AAIB photo shows empty seats, with people sitting in them, the lever does not protrude above thighs.
I could however, quite easily see an inexperienced passenger leaning on that trim lever as he adjusted his seating position.
You know, the "aching ****" (backside) problem after sitting for an hour, and before you know it, the trim is against one of the stops. Trim wheel would only move a quarter of a turn at most.
Just to add some detail to what I was suggesting, if an inexperienced passenger put his hands down just to lift his own body weight, to adjust his seating position, he could inadvertently push against the trim lever if that is what his hand touched first.

or maybe I should re-word that as a question. If an inexperienced passenger put his hands down just to lift his own body weight, to adjust his seating position,
could he inadvertently push against the trim lever if that is what his hand touched first?
The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.
