You cannot blame and therefore claim off yourself, when you get it wrong.
Mark, hence the grey area. If you look, check and assess that it is safe (and it really is), and you leave your marshal point to retrieve a car, then at that point an incident happens elsewhere and you get hurt. You have served due dilligence to ensure your safety, but factors beyond your control happens. Like going to pull out of a junction on a blind corner, you check as far as you can see, jump on the brakes as a car comes round the corner and the car behind you rear ends you.
