Exactly

A marshal's first priority is not to help the person in the accident, its to make sure its safe for them to attempt to help. Rushing across the circuit might only make things worse, and i'm guessing they were expecting another pack of cars through shortly (in typical VLN style). Its a blind approach to Wehrseifen too - pop round the downhill right hander and straight into the left hander where the rolled car was, i certainly wouldn't fancy standing on the circuit there.

Oh, and as i'm taking my lady with me, it looks like i'll just have to make do with eating (food ) and drinking only!

edit/ just read worzel's post.... i wonder if those yellow flags were the only ones. coming round the right hander, your eyes will be looking at the next left - and the yellows would be out of your eye-line i reckon.
