Merit badges for turn marshalls...

It's not a thing but maybe it should be...
I was doing my part help flip over some cars on a busy off road carpet track today....probably 20 cars on the track. Bent down to flip a car at the end of the quad jump....and caught brushless 10th scale buggy right in the side of the head.
Not something I'm in a hurry to try a 2nd time ...but you're your own man....don't let me stop you from having a go at it to decide for yourself.

You do know 'keeping your head in the game' is only a saying, right???

Lol, I have been hit by enough 1/1 scale stuff not to worry about a little guy like this too much

I guess if you both walked away it wasn't that bad.
Thankfully it wasn't an 1/8th scale!

Clearly, you were doing it wrong.

A badge for getting hit in the foot is like getting a badge for participation.
Badges for stitches tho...

People laugh when I show up wearing my skiing helmet, rough crowd , rough job , missles trying to go as fast as possible, what could actually go wrong , we race 5 scale Taylor powered beasts , it’s all about timing and real good hockey shin Gaurds , not even kidding here , we race a dirt oval the infield is the safest place to be about 20ft back

Ski helmet? I'd be wearing full body armor. Maybe a bomb suit at a 1/5 scale track!!!

I am no where near as fast as those cars are! No need to test!

20' feet is good for you maybe. I'll be good at 20 yards.

You might be a nut!

There should def be a badge for that!!!

The drivers get focused on making that lap time and don't see what's going on too much in front of the car beyond the next corner or jump. I feel like that's how I got it. He was looking at clearing the quad jump in 1 shot and didn't check the landing before the car was in the air.

Can’t worry bout hurrying to flip a car over , it’s about surviva I got hit on the ankle by a Baja , that was two seasons ago , still got the mark on my ankle , the driver was by pretty upset , but him and his wife were a lot better when they saw me laughing it off , I was given a badge of sacrifice, a picture of the bill on astronaut on it , oh ya , and a bag of ice
