Ok apologies not trying to offend just making a point
Linzi almost was in a wheelchair after his smash he was on crutches for ages
It would be interesting if people post there Rc racing Injuries here and how they sustained them to give us an idea of how many injuries come from an individual marshalling being injured by a car or even track malfunctions eg loose carpet slipping on wet astro ECt
I am not trying to encourage the blame for a claim crew to come racing but fairs fair if someone is injured and it affects there life there should be some help or compensation or if not they should be allowed to politely refuse to Marshall or ask to change Marshall points if they feel they are in an unsafe position
I will start
Heel - smashed black and blue while marshalling straight ( affected work )
Thumb - slipped on loose carpet and damaged thumb ligament ( affected work )
( although I do accept this is a bit if a grey area it's still a injury sustains at racing)
Hand burnt raw by driver revving the car full blast as they were marshalled ( affected work slightly )
Toes bashed by car ( didn't affect work to badly but still bloody hurt and bruised )
Minor injuries I know but injuries all the same
Generally through no fault of your own
What's happened to the rest of you then
And would insurance of helped
