Marshalling can be risky too. I remember this incident well as Goodwood is a few miles from where I live. I almost went on that day myself. What should have been a pleasant afternoon's entertainment turned into tragedy.
Goodwood Festival of Speed 2000.

On Saturday afternoon, at around 4pm, John Dawson-Damer's four-wheel drive Lotus 63 suddenly veered off the finish straight, demolishing the timing gantry, in the process taking two marshalls with him. The 59-year-old Australian driver was killed, as was one marshall. The other marshall lost the bottom part of one leg and is still in hospital.
