Speaking as someone of an orange boilersuit persuasion, the pit lane is possibly one of the most dangerous places on Earth (other than the immediate sides of a race start, or the caldera of an active volcano). Cars, people, fuel, wheels, jacks, wheelguns, compressed gas, other fluids.. it's a slippery place, full of sudden noise and heat and confusion.
It is *not* somewhere random MoPs should be. In most cases it's not somewhere random marshals should be, either!
In my experience that's exactly what happens. Once the cars start moving, the public go (if not the other way round). If you're lucky enough to be on the pit wall when the cars start moving, stay there until it's over!
