Being there and from what I saw, the only thing a flag or the cornerworker could have done was possibly stop about half of the bikes going down, the first 6 were into the corner and carying a good amount of speed, if the worker had the flag and was waving it the first wave of 6 bike still would have hit the oil and gone down anyway,

I didn't see the corner worker until most of the mayhem ended.

I think if he had a flag in hand it would have changed things somewhat but not completely stopped the situation from happening.

I think that from 5 to 8 is a LONG way to go without SOME type of signals.
