Rain delay tarp issues

Read this story about the Phillies-Rockies game sunday...

"A strong burst of wind caught the tarp as the Colorado Rockies' grounds crew tried to roll it over the infield during a seventh-inning rain delay on Sunday, sending crew members flying into the air."

It goes on to say several Phillies, including that day's starting pitcher Adam Eaton, were all on the field helping pull the tarp over while 24 Rockies ran for cover in the comfortable dry clubhouse. LaTroy Hawkins was the only Rocky who stayed back to help. Lack of class on the Rockies or dumb to be risking injury by helping out?

C.  Neither of the above.

The footage, if you somehow still haven't seen it yet (I swear I saw it on 7 different channels this morning):

And I agree with Josh:  Neither.  It all happened in a flash; the Rockies were back in their locker room/clubhouse area already and the Phillie players saw what was happening on the field and instinctively rushed to help.  There really wasn't much time for either team to deliberate the situation.

Did Shane Victorino dive head first into the tarp, hoping to ride a cyclone?
