I have had my e-revo land on a marshals head, I came off a triple that put you about 15 feet up and the total jump distance was about 40 feet. The marshal was turned looking away from oncoming cars. I felt bad but it wasn't like I was out of control or aiming for him, here simply wasn't looking where he should have been. My biggest gripe about marshalling is the nitro guys insist that they must be on the throttle as you pick them up and before you throw them back down. I ate a lot of dirt last summer and got to the point that if I went to pick up someone's car and they didn't let off the throttle I simply threw my hands up and stepped back.
when i marshall . I always watch the car coming towards me & not going away from me . But you have to pay attention especially with the 1/8 buggy's & truggy's. I think having a marshall spot next to a jump is a bad idea .

when i go to flip a car over . I just stand there untill they let off the throttle .
