I have never experienced a company buying something in the material handling arena they didn't need or purchase at a premium just for the sheer thrill of owning it ( such as some folks who buy a BMW just because they can).

As has been discussed many times- no matter how much training an operator has there will always be accidents etc. The only meaningful reduction in these situations I have seen is the installation of cameras where the operators know they're being watched. I can't see a simulator offering any kind of value- sorry.
