Fire extinguisher

[Evan Bottcher]

Brad M and I were flagging at Phillip Island Turn 2 once, and a car came infield after turn 2 and hit a small embankment, then set alight the long grass under it.  Brad set off with the large extinguisher as quickly as he could... but it was quite some distance and neither of us are athletes

Point is - it may be some time before assistance arrives from the nearest flag marshalls.  If you've broken your back or legs and can't get the fuck out and run, it would be good to be able to defend yourself a little bit against fire.

OK, so it doesn't mention the harness. I appreciate all the replies. It is turning into an interesting discussion.

He he ... Black (even before the grass started to smoulder) RX-8 ... his little 1kg extinguisher wasn't calming the situation.
