Firstly, NES had/had an excellent stand. Built like a brick...you know. Good thick lexan window and the lights were user friendly. High enough to make a hard target but low enough that the drivers can see you.
There's been a few tracks where I knew safety was an afterthought but the show must go on. If I refused here in the South the track would say fine we'll use our own flagman and our drivers wouldn't like that.
I've been here on 3W since the beginning so I'm sure I've mentioned this before but I worked at one track where I was climbing up into the stand and part of the ladder came off in my hand. Literally falling apart.
Long/short, I look at it like a racer; it ain't ever gonna happen to me.
