I don't doubt that at all. But it's idiotic. A guy in last place half a track from the leaders with two to go who executes a 360 and continues may merit a Black Flag, but stacking up a field that is otherwise strung out breeds just the sort of incident that happens here. Of course Hagen was still the one who jumped the cushion, but the hair-trigger caution--while policy, perhaps--is s-t-u-p-i-d.
All occurrences should have the particulars of the moment taken into consideration. That caution was unnecessary. It set the table for what transpired.
