A rather interesting video of a parked 738 been blown by a gust of wind.

A similar sort of thing happened with Concorde in the AVP.

A similar thing happened to an Aer Lingus A330 in high winds at DUB a few years ago.
Yup, and it was blown straight into another Aer Lingus A330. That wasn’t a good day for EI!

Was it really the wind? All those people out there who know about by-pass pins, could of been the lack of one of them inserted, while the tug and tow bar are connected?
Naaa!!! If you don’t have a by-pass pin installed when the hydraulics are switched on the tow bar shear pin will shear.
Must have given the head set bloke a shock when the aircraf started to move towards him!

If you mean the guy in the Yellow hi-vis jacket, no. I think he just happened to be reaching up to plug in his headset at the time the aircraft moved which gives that impression.
