Amusing, but I can't imagine standing behind a motorcycle while I'm handling gear. I don't use hard luggage or a top box, loading soft panniers or tank/back of seat bag works from the sides. If I'm standing behind the car it's usually because I'm working with the gear in the rear cargo area, not on the ground. I can't put something on the roof of the car from the back ... that's where the hatchback window is and I'd have to move the gear to open the hatch, would see it in the rear view mirror anyway.
So while funny, there isn't any practical way to put the gear in the path of one of my wheels to back over it. Leaving kit on the ground while I drive off is certainly possible and then other people can roll over it, but as least I won't have to hear the sickening crunch.
