It absolutely has happened. Of course a flying buggy is going to injure someone also, and they have. But a buggy hitting a marshal is a lot less likely to be fatal because it doesn't have a spinning prop on the front of it. And it probably isn't carrying the speed a plane does.

I wasn't making an excuse. I was agreeing and expanding on your point.

That was the point! Again I was making the connection to what you and zerodefect said about tracks being disfunctional compaired to airfields. I have been fortunate the tracks and meets I visited everyone was largely cooperative, and only a few people tried to buck things.
