Haha...nice work Jimmy!

As James has already posted...the high viz thing is more about race control being able to see there are marshalls in place, and not about racers being able to see them, or them providing any extra safety protection.

I'm not convinced it's that big a deal though...they don't do any harm to anything or anyone, and they are hardly an inconvenience. so what's the problem if the race organisers that enforce them find them useful for something? Why worry about it?

BIG vests on little people is probably more of a hazard though!!! Wouldn't be surprised to see that causes a trip or fall in extreme cases!
