Also,if the rider is still down,the sector marshal would have put it a request for medical assistance,which will be there without delay.
to be honest,if he`s hurt,its a job for the medics.
At club meets,where i`m sector marshal,if i have to call in a faller,the incident boys/girls will deal with the bike.
I`ll go straight to the rider,as i have the radio,i can make an on the spot decision.
But normally you get used to them falling,if the rider does try and get up,which is common,you can tell by there body language if they are hurt.
As i do a fair split between car & bike marshalling,you do use 2 different set of rules for dealing with incidents
