Motorsports Photography can be dangerous!

For a change it wasnt me that was in the firing line although where he was standing is my favourite spot......but not any more!
Initially they thought his leg was broken but I think he's fine just a bit sore, his camera looked a bit worse for wear though!
Iains pics from another angle -
Colin.

Never EVER have your back to the cars when you're on the bank. Ever. Always have an escape route planned wherever you are. I don't mean to sound smug but it's basic stuff for both media and marshals that this guy nearly learnt the hard way.
Exactly, so many newbies would appear throughout the seasons I covered of the BTCC and support races and they really didn't understand how dangerous a place the tirewalls were until their first brown-trouser moment happened Here is one I filmed, just watch the camera man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ZyRNYPpig

here's one of them from my point of view just before I ducked and got showered with tyres and stones...
That reminds me of trying to photograph the Dukeries Rally back in the 1980's - you watch the car coming towards you in the viewfinder and think 'this is a good shot... this is a GOOD shot... this is a REALLY good shot... st, RUN!'Closest ever, probably -----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFdGKeQph-Q
How many times has this guy crashed now Colin?
Glad the tog is ok though, definitely a pretty dangerous hobby.
In the news today: Five injured in rally car crash
And a shot captured by power images, that's me in the background, the mini hadn't finished rolling yet.
