The marshal point has been deemed a "safe" point, and you are covered here. But what if it isn't safe? What if its in direct line of jumping cars, or at the the end of the straight and cars can bounce off and hit you in your safe point.
When club members are track building sometimes a marshal point just gets stuck in the ground at a logical point where someone thought a marshal may be needed. I'm sure a risk assessment and sign-off hasn't occurred as to whether it is actually "safe".
I'm not trying to raise a point on who's to blame here (I detest blame culture), but if a case went to court, where someone was hit at a "safe" marshal point. The person that defined that point a safe place would be called to account. I'm sure the BRCA insurance would fight it so they were not liable.
As I have put if you consider it unsafe, mention it or ask to be moved
