New safety rules

[DazTheSlug]

...The taking of numbers in this situation is for the benefit of the runners, for their safety and nothing else and it just beggars believe that some people can be just so downright stupid...

Hear, Hear.

I always pin my number, unfolded, on the middle of my vest.

If I have to put a jacket over the top, I always unzip it (no matter how foul the weather) so that the marshals can see it
I never shout out my number, as I might mis-remember it, the marshals might mis-hear, plus the marshals have no way of being sure that I am not somebody without a number just "blagging it"

I do all of the above not because it is in the FRA Safety Requirements Document, not because the Race Organiser has required it and not because I am some sort of goody two shoes, but FOR MY OWN SAFETY.
