Additionally a condition not being reported to them, is in no way there fault.  It's like saying driving is wrong because there is always the risk somebody could have narcelpsy and the person who does the drivers liscense test wouldn't know that.  Did what they do have risks?  Yes.  Were those risks large or even signficiant?  No.  There are much larger risks with plenty of stuff we allow.

This situation is closer to a driver having a heart attack, and your punching them repeatedly to get them to "stop faking".

If you checked their vitals first and there was no sign of a heart attack and if truck drivers have had a history of faking heart attacks.

Though, if you include all of those qualifers, sure.

Think about this situation if they don't use corporal punishment.

 

He collapses, they check his vitals, no signs of problems... they just yell at him to get up.  The whole thing plays out the same way, except it probably takes longer for them to realize something is wrong.
