I just posted my rant on the showme site... I was standing 10 feet away when the little girl got hit. Poor girl did a cartwheel, and lost a shoe. Luckily she wasn't seriously hurt.
At one point, Firesprink and I were the ONLY marshalls on the track for at least 30 minutes straight...
Leisure has to regulate the marshalling somehow... It sucks, that I/We pay the same amount of money to run our trucks, but end up spending more time on the track marshalling, while some guys run 2-4 tanks straight, then go sit in the pits for a while, never setting foot on the track to marshall. People need to look ahead a bit in "High Crash" areas, and slow down if there is a marshall doing his thing. At one point, there were 5 trucks and buggys tangled, and upside down. As the marshall is trying to get everyone going, there are guys flying at him from every angle.
