I think overall it's pretty tricky. Nobody wants to make the decision to form the second echelon, it's hard to predict when you are going to have to get into an echelon, and when it's your turn to rotate off it's possible to be punted out of your echelon.

Also, the gusts on that video were crazy, it's amazing that when the guy at the front gets pushed over 8 feet that it doesn't cause a big pileup. And that happened over and over.

Even the pros sometimes end up in a single echelon with 80 guys in a line behind doing just as much work as the guy in front. It's really difficult to decide you are going to be in the next echelon back, or the 5th, depending on your position. And who knows if people are going to follow you?
