well, by no means should the driver have struck the worker under yellow... you definitely should take it down a notch when under yellow which definitely gives you a lot more time to assess whats around you.
that being said, the worker should not have been put in the path of an oncoming car. even if for some reason he was, he shouldnt go out without letting race control know, letting fellow workers know so they can watch his back, and without knowing himself that more cars were on their way, even if this dude was catching up to the pack. a previous worker can tell him that there's still cars on track and heading his way.
regardless, i dont want something like this to scare people away from working events. just keep in mind that safety is the biggest issue when it comes to what we do. so long as you keep your head out of your ass, and dont do something foolish, you'll be fine.
my 2 cents
