You're missing one of the fundamental rules of marshalling here. If you can't do it safely, don't do it!. You are responsible first & foremost for your own safety; if you're constantly getting into situations where you're needing someone with a whistle to alert you to impending danger, you need to reassess the way you approach incidents. (Note: the use of 'you' is not in any way intended as a criticism of you personally - it's intended as a generalisation!)

I'm accustomed to the observer, or the de facto observer, being the only person on the post with a whistle; MarshalGirl has explained the reasons for that - I see no need for change.
