Safety Question: If one portion of the range is closed and rockets are launching, does that restrict all activities in other areas of the range? The reason I ask is that I saw a video the other day from a launch several states away. The LP racks were launching, and there was a person out doing something under one or more of the MP/HP rockets. My daughter was looking over my shoulder and asked what he was doing with his hand under a motor when any part of the range was active. I didn't have a good answer, so I thought I'd come here. Every organized launch I've been to has closed all parts of the range when any rockets were launching.
So the question to the crowd is: Under what circumstances (if any) is it OK to be out on the range when some rockets are launching? I'll go ahead and assume that the minimum is that the power to the pads where you are working must be off and that you are more than the minimum safe distance from any active pads.
[edit] I want to be clear that I don't want to bash anyone. I saw this one way, but I don't know enough to know how other people see it. [/edit]
