They have spent millions making the tracks and the cars safer, then jeopardize it all by allowing such vehicles to be on the wrong side of the barrier. It may be a minute chance of occurring, but the outcome I have just watched is unacceptable. A better way has to be found. As a side note, it is incredible we don't also have a bunch of dead marshalls.

Caution again if you want to watch the video, you cannot unsee it
The trouble is, the only reason Jules car hit the truck is due to a an extreme freak coming together of circumstances;

Jules car was travelling at significant speed, this being in fading light, heavy rain and double waved yellows - why so fast?

The truck was reversing into the trajectory of Jules out of control (but moving nose forward in a straight trajectory)Marussia

The rear of the truck had a sloping overhang, cruelly just at the height of an F1 cockpit.

As harsh as it might sound, this is a dangerous sport. We should not lose sight of the fact that a marshall was killed last year (I think) in Canada.... we carried on then, is this to be seen as any different than another sad but freak accident?
