some hard googling landed me the results; crazy shit.

"Tom Pryce, a promising young Welsh driver, was racing for the Shadow team at the 1977 South African Grand Prix.

His team mate in the other Shadow car, Renzo Zorzi, had a mechanical fault and came to a stop off the track by the barriers, about 30 seconds ahead of Pryce. The car's engine suddenly burst into flames, although Zorzi was already in the process of climbing out safely.

A marshall carrying a heavy metal fire extinguisher rushed across the track towards the car, with the race still in progress.

Pryce, who was driving the next car on the scene, could not avoid the marshall and hit him at full speed, killing him.

At the same time, the extinguisher struck Pryce full in the face, and despite his helmet, the force of it broke his neck and killed him instantly. It later turned out that the force of the blow had actually torn his helmet clean off his head, as it was found several hundred yards away from where his car finally came to a stop.

With Pryce dead at the wheel, his car continued uncontrolled down the straight part of the track for some distance, until it finally struck another car at the next bend.

This double tragedy brought about severe changes in the rules governing marshalling at Grand Prixs."

The first 3 or 4 times you watch this, it's mostly disbelief, followed by disgust, followed by curiosity, followed by sadness.

After some googling and wiki'ing, it sadly seems apparent that many people blame the race official, Jansen Van Vuuren, for the death of the driver. Van Vuuren was 19 years old, and was simply doing his job, the way it was done back then. The part of the track it occurred on is a section with poor visibility, in a dip and around a corner, and he had no idea that the cars were approaching at that exact time. Neither Tom Pryce nor Jansen Van Vuuren could have possibly changed their direction or anything of the sort, as the race car was moving at close to 180mph. An unavoidable accident, yet very little is said of Jansen Van Vuuren. Terrible tragedy.

Jansen's body literally exploded on the impact, hence they couldnt even identify who else died initially thanks to the thousands of pieces of him there was.

I've seen that video like 100 times in the past few months and I never, until just now, realized they were BOTH killed - the guy running across the track was shredded on impact but the fire extinguisher he was carrying basically hit Pryce in the head (even with his helmet on) and shredded the left side of his skull practically clean off.

Damn... all those times I saw that video before I never knew it was both of them, the marshall getting decimated on impact and then Pryce being killed pretty much instantly on impact with the extinguisher and then his car crashing into the wall further down the track and then into another car as well - but he was dead pretty much the same instant the marshall was obliterated.

That was truly a sad event now that I really understand exactly what happened... not a big race fan but even so, truly a sad event.

The map that I've seen has it happening at the end of the long straight, though there have a been a rise to block view down the track. Tragic thought it may have been one has to wonder why the marshall, knowing that there were racers approaching, chose to try and cross the track at all without at least looking up the road. He seemed more determined to get across the track and put out the fire even though the driver had cleanly exited the car. Why not wait for a yellow flag? Why not wait until the end of the race field?

It was all such a waste.
