  • My worst crash ever!
    During the last lap of my 3rd race I had a big crash, which sent my kart flying in the air and flipping it upside down.
    I managed to crawl from under the kart and throw myself to safety over the barriers.
    And from what I've heard, it didn't look good from a spectators point of view. But I came out with loads of bruises on my left arm and helmet,and some smaller ones on the left side of my body.
    I don't think I could do anything because half a second before impact I was squished between 2-3 drivers, and at impact there were drivers to the left and behind me.
    Anyway, I'm not here to point fingers and blame anyone, I'm very grateful that I came out of this crash with only these bruises...

    Especially to have mini ramps going up that wall, and to then also make a little dip in a wall exiting a corner which will have people naturally drift out into.SMH

    no seatbelts or chest straps? You really had a race with nothing on? Don't really care that you got run off the track in go karts on a small indoor circuit, you didn't put your safety first, and that alone should ban you from this sport. You're lucky these karts have bumpers, karts that don't go as fast, and its not outdoors. Also, whoever was supposed to maintain the track you could have had a very good lawsuit but too bad you didn't protect yourself.
