Man runs into F1 car in Japan [video]

A marshal forgets fundamental safety rules and runs right into Sebastien Buemi's Red Bull F1 show car

A marshal was trying to cross the track at an F1 show event in Japan when he realized Sebastien Buemi's Red Bull F1 show car was coming right at him and his only option was to jump over the F1 racer.

Luckily, the man was able to walk away from this incident in fine shape which took place during the Red Bull F1 Exhibition in Chiba, Japan on the weekend. Buemi was unhurt.

Sometimes, even trained staff get careless during such events and forget mother's timeless advice: always look both ways before crossing the street.

Guys are you serious? How can you say something like that? It is a human life! I'm sure there must be an explanation of why that man did that, but your comments are such a shame for you.

Well excuse me for not following your sense of morality, I chose to live my life under my own sets of morals and ethics; compassion for the stupid isn't one of them. Also, clearly people were joking and since he walked away, he should consider this a lesson learned.

Easy to step in front of an F1 car at a F1 event. I mean, it's not as if you're expecting it or can here it coming...

He put his life in danger, and the drivers. If he had hit him in the head, buemi could've broken his neck. What about that for stupidity.
