Well, of course, in all our collective years of marshalling I'm sure none of us have ever seen cars mount high banks or fly more that 10ft in the air - NOT.
BFC, I've seen cars fly higher than that, and more to the point, I've seen debris and wheels fly higher. I, personally, would agree with TwoSheds that a post without a quick escape route is dangerous. We're supposed to be about safety - not would-be-heroes who infer that safety concerns are for wimps. I know that your post was meant in jest, but even so, I think it's wrong to disparage other marshals for being concerned about their own, and their colleagues', safety.
