If he moved backwards and the car jumped the barrier it could have still rolled into him. I think the "safest" option should have been to dive down and use the height of the jersey barrier to protect you. When I'm shooting the drop gate in Turn 1 at Indy that's what I mentally tell myself to do if something breaks loose in front of me. Fortunately, I haven't needed to do my "prairie dog" move out there yet.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
