Glad no one was hurt. I’m also glad to see that the PPL second chain did it’s job and didn’t break

It technically didn't do its job. It bounced and fell out of the safety hitch. That hitch was still on the truck. The primary hitch wasn't.

Reggie…… try watching the video and this time pay a little bit of attention. You will see she ran around the front of the trailer to check on the folks up there then ran down to the front of the truck while on her headset getting help. Reggie you can issue an apology after watching the video again, maybe a few times…..

Yep, that's an awesome flagger/event manager!
I trust my life to the decisions she makes!
Lots of good folks were working that event.
I'm proud of her actions, and the care and attention she had.
Excellent situational awareness.

That “lady” was running to check on the person running laser who was knocked off the trailer and later transported out by ambulance. She did her job & did it well, so go fly a kite Reggie!

Reggie you do owe her an apology. I have worked with the girl with a ponytail before as a finish line flagman. Had a blower belt drive pull come off an unlimited mod It almost hit me bounced off the track, went up a banner and into the crowd where it struck a lady. The girl with the pony tail was over the barriers and into the crowd before the mod came to a stop. Her concern was for the people who may have been hurt. If there’s trouble you will see her running towards it not away. Yep you owe her an apology
