My Close Call

I was Marshalling at Oulton Park yesterday when in the last Legends race this one decided to try and jump the barrier and kill me and some colleagues, Seriously it was a very close call and i am still shaken up today, I only saw it at the last minute and had to dive on the floor I was stood next to the bent post, also there were 2 guys stood in the flag box it came to rest on. and was told that the wheel that came off it bounced within a foot of my head while i was on the floor i ended up with a small cut on both legs.
