    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to allocate inexperienced and younger marshals to low-risk positions

    Wider context from the report

    “2. The marshall at Point 11 was aged 16 at the time of the incident and had only marshalled on one previous occasion. Although he claimed to have made this known to the Chief Marshall no action was taken to allocate him to a low risk position, notwithstanding the current club marshalling rules of Portsmouth Motocross Club which states that those aged 16-18 should be so allocated. Portsmouth Motocross Club should ensure that marshalls are allocated to positions based on the experience of each individual and that it should review its rules in light of the MCF Code of Practice (once that is updated) and its affiliation to MCF. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of appropriate smartphone-use warnings in marshal briefings

    Wider context from the report

    “1. The evidence showed that the marshall at Point 11 had earlier been using his mobile phone to take photographs of passing riders and at the time of the incident was facing in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the riders, so that he was unaware of Bradley Hooper coming off his machine and did not show a yellow flag until after the fatal collision. The MCF Code of Practice makes no reference to appropriate warnings which should be given to marshalls at briefings about the use of smartphones whilst practices or races are under way. ”
