What would happen to my Velvet Drives?

One feature about my 11 Meter helm I dislike is how "close my Morse Shifters are to the cabin entryway handrail"

I'm cruising this weekend with 8 people onboard at 15 Knots and all I kept thinking was someone stumbling while reaching for the handrail and shifting me into reverse at 3000 rpm.

Would it even engage into reverse at high RPMS ?? or would I have time to react ?

Any Velvet drive experts have any thoughts?

Anyhow, it's something thats always bugged me and I'm sure not going to test my theory !!

Boat is running awesome though !
Thanks
