Yeaks, it looked like that marshall was being thrown into pieces and squeezed through the barrier !
 
old video.....the marshall was hit dead on....splitting him in half....but the driver who hit him also died in the accident...apparently the fire extinguisher that the marshall brought with him had struck the driver smack on the helmet....both killed..thats why today's F1 are damn strict....
 
I've watched this video clip sometime back. It was the most horrendous crash that i've seen. Sickening to some extent.

Anyways, just to clear the air. The F1 driver that crash into the marshall was Tom Pryce and they were racing at Kyalami at South Africa when one of the cars caught fire and needed attention from the marshalls. Back then safety was not a priority and these drivers don't give a fuck when there's an incident somewhere and probably won't slow down too. So anyways this marshall was on his way to the car with that extinguisher but didn't realise he was too close. Tom Pryce subsequently smashes into the marshall killing him instantly while the extinguisher hit Tom on his head, also fatally injuring him. The car went on straight to crash into another driver as Tom was either dead or was already unconscious.

Its a sad chapter in Formula 1 when this sort of horrible death occur. It just goes to show how safe F1 is nowadays.
 
I don't think the marshall split in half. Just looks like one of his limbs came off and his pants/shirt came off too. In any case, logical sense would've told many that it's NEVER safe to run across the track when a race is going on.

Oh my, thats such a sick video clip. I mean my heart goes out to the family of the dead guy. Myself over here i'm feeling so bad over this guy who gets run over, imagine how his family feel.

This again just shows how safe F1 is. You cannot allow mechanics and marshalls to be running around the track just like these. Its just too dangerous.
 
my god.. it was scary.. damn scary to watch man.. low car running at 200mph hit ur legs.. aarrgghhh.. can't sleep lah!
