I think it is true that it's only a recomendation and "industry best practice" that top handled saws aren't used on the ground, BUT, if it hits the fan and there's any sort of investigation then you'll be in it up to your eye balls for doing so. In reality I think most people still use top handles on the ground from time to time.

 

Rear handled saws on the ground reduce the risk of kick-back and are therefore deemed to be safer. In the UK we shouldn't be complaining about not being able to use top handles on the ground, we should be glad that we're still allowed to use them at all!

 

With regards to the original post, if it were me I would not be putting pictures on a website unless they were squeky clean, but it's amazing how many you see of people using inappropriate tools, working off ladders, etc...
