I’m perfectly fine I was just a bit sore for a week after. The crash happened at round 3 of the Florida winter tour on the Saturday morning practice. I finished the weekend but ended up having engine troubles in the finals.
@@guilhermegamper9844 The reason non-caged go karts do not have a seat belt is because if it flips and god forbid a fire were to spark out, he would be trapped head in the ground on fire. It is rather safer to have no seat belt unless it has a cage. It is the same reason motorcycles have no belts, you wouldn't want to roll around with the bike, you rather slide on the floor until you stop. The track should not be like this, these barriers are extremely unsafe for karts.
@@lordjaashin seat belts work in cars because the car is designed for them, karts dont have a roof or airbags or any of that stuff. i dont ride go karts but i feel like its similar to a motorcycle, better off flying out and relying on pads and helmet
Theres no crumple zones in a kart, if you were strapped in the g forces would be many times higher stopping in 0.1s rather than 1 second. A 3m gravel trap would be much better, since youd have another factor reducing the g force.
Orlando kart center is probably the most high risk kart place I've ever been to. The rental karts are fast, the workers are slow, and they let anyone wheel them without ensuring they're safe drivers. It's great fun, but I've had multiple events with crazy aggressive people on track who don't have any regard for the safety of others. Glad to see you're alright though!
For people asking why there are no seatbelts. If karts had seatbelts I would be dead or seriously injured and that probably goes the same for many kart racers around the world. It’s like having seatbelts on a bike. You don’t really want to be attached to a flipping, out of control, potentially on fire machine where your head is literally the roof. You’re much better off being thrown from the machine. Thing’s like neck braces, rib protectors and good quality racewear and helmets will do a lot more good than a seatbelt would in karting. Also better run off, I don’t know the context or layout of the track but not having a sandpit/gravel and instead just a rigid barrier seems weird.
Exactly, flipped my cart and it wasnt that serious but it would had taken ages to climb out with a seatbelt, if it then would had been on fire id be fucking dead or hospitalized
This is the same reason why kart racing suits and auto racing suits (or firesuits) are different and should be used accordingly. The primary dangers when involved in a crash are very different between the two racing disciplines. In karting, the suit is abrasion resist to protect the driver if thrown from the kart. In Auto racing ( where harnesses are used), the suit is not designed to protect against abrasion since the risk of being ejected from the race vehicle is much lower. They are primarily designed to protect against fire risks and buy time for the racer to get themselves out or be extracted from a burning car.
I've had a few fairly minor incidents myself and they were somewhat painful, but nowhere near as bad as yours. Therefore I can imagine just how painful and shocking that must have been. Hope you're doing well.
Oh! I (lightly) crashed here a year or so ago. Even in their decent non shifter kart, we were hitting around 60 mph there. Instructor was saying to brake just after the hanging lights, which really didn't work. Bent a tierod, went back to braking a hair more conservatively. Definitely the most dangerous corner there, waaaaay worse in the rain, especially on slicks. Glad you made it out alright.
Man i had two or three crashes that were all the same. Was racing, went for a gap on a corner and suddennly a dude with no clue whats going on around closes the gap sending me into the walls. Fucking hurts. Worst part is that i once hit my knee on the side strut for the steering column thing and couldnt walk for two weeks. I cant imagine how this must feel
I had a break failure at our local indoor carting when I was 10, luckily I was only doing like 30mph. The little beton barrier I crashed into flew a good 5m away and I hit my knee on the steering wheel. I got out and wanted to put the barrier back in place. Then realized I couldn't even move it 😂 that's where I learned that also low speeds can generate quite some forces. Don't want to imagine having a break failure at double the speed! Luckily he didn't smashed into this wall frontally.
Watching that in slow-mo and seeing how your leg got yanked is honestly mind blowing you didn’t pull anything let alone completely snap it, glad your all good man damn lucky
Honestly watching it the same everything else looked fine but it totally looked like the knee was absolutely ripped apart. I'm curious how his knee is feeling
He definitely has to have some sort of injury, this was a pretty big crash, but I’m more worried about his ribs that slammed into the barrier. I’d be shocked if none are broken or dislocated after that.
@@erickunzracing You should definitely make a video of you using this video to pick up women! Really try to push how tough you are- maybe you broke some ribs or torn a ligament in your knee, anything.. And that you went with smaller brake discs to reduce weight to go faster at the cost of safety! Even though I'm sure there's regulations, she won't know (: For real though, that was a hell of an impact and glad you're okay!
If you put it in 0.25 speed, you can see that when he crashed, his legs wrapped around the steering wheel. That’s prob the one thing that stoped him from flying out. Your lucky man
This a perfect exemple on how to take a crash, you shouldnt « brace for impact » you should relax as much as possible because the tenser you are the more your bones and muscles are unelastic and static which results in a higher probability of injury. This applies for anything, from falling, parachute, motorcycle/car crash, etc… absolutely anything
@@erickunzracing Hopefully that was the first AND LAST time. That looks painful and I don't even want to imagine what the injury would've looked like if it were frontal and you hadn't been able to spin into the turn a little.
@@tcwracing its click bait he obveously tryed to cut the corner only to jump in the air then he tryed to hit the brakes while tyres are in the air if he went wide like all racecars he could of made that turn or braked sooner if there was a cart on the left side.
man i just had the exact same crash, my brake pedal went up and i couldn't reach it, obviously not at that speed but I'm pretty sore rn hahaha hope you're ok and still ripping out there🤘🏼
Had a similar accident at a similar speed a few years back. However, I hit tyres and not a solid barrier like this one, poor track safety if this is something to judge it by. Had identical damage to my kart that you had, but I managed to walk away with just a small bruise to my leg. Hope you’re ok. 👍
'Flair'... You aren't kidding mate, you have a lot of it!!! Jeez... I did almost exactly the same in 81 at Shennington. The only thing that stopped me being thrown like a ginger- frisbee into the wall was my right ankle which somehow got key-holed in the accelerator pedal! 🙏 Respect... Glad you walked away. 💪🏆🇬🇧
Oh my god… That was huge. What I don’t understand is how that run off passed track inspection. With that high entry speed and such a large kerb you’d need at east a gravel trap…

@@itsabouttime6220 Isn't that what he said at the end of his comment? I'm in disbelief that somebody actually found something to complain about with such an innocent and normal comment
Shit mate. That really hurts. I’m scared, cause I’m a KA driver as well. But God really bless you. Not only the steering wheel prevents you from flying out, there’s a plastic barrier right on your hitting point. That prevents you from a direct contact to the hard barrier! Hope u r getting better
I don't do any karting, but watch alot of motorsports and so I'm astonished that there's a solid barrier at the end of a long ass straight... Surely that's the highest risk for a potential top speed incident
To all the people that said the brakes didn’t fail, you can see that the master cylinder is disconnected. It had nothing to do with his driving skill or the kerb.
This actually happened to me also in Rotax Max, its the worst failure you could possibly have. I was unconcious for maybe a minute, the entire karts frame was twisted 180° and totally mangled (it was a CRG and they are renown for being TUFF as nails) but somehow I was fine, altough I did have a mild concussion...
@@flyway_b too quick there, think before you type my friend. Comment said “what was the CAUSE of the failure” 😂. Not the cause of the crash.

Ouch. Have had similar happen in my rotax, luckily not hit anything that hard. not that it helps you now but if you ever get brake failure again pump the pedal, it's usually master cylinder that goes and pumping the pedal will build pressure, once finished an entire race pumping the brake down the straights so I could brake for corners 😂
Eric, I'm glad you're ok. I've watched this video many times since it came out and it still amazes me. It's frustrating and almost funny how many people think you are at fault. They should do 3 laps in a real Kart and then re-comment. Anyway, I've got a race in X30 this weekend at OKC, I think everyone is now more cognizant of the barrier. Frustrating Andre didn't put tires or tecpro in.
Ye I definitely got luck by not being seriously injured, those barriers are way to close to the edge of the track and are more of a hazard. I’m happy I moved into cars so I have a full roll cage now.
Bro I've had plenty of crashes but never In my life I saw your body went nearly of the cart all I was hoping was not a broken leg by the way you went at that barrier danm it went like a ragdoll glad your okay and man I felt your pain as you were walking away
I remember getting T Boned hard AF at Kings Dominion on their go karts. It was a parent+ child type thing so I was just the passenger, while my dad thought he was in the Daytona 500. He's racing hard as he can and this other dad is doing the same well my dad tried to overtake this guy coming up on a turn and we took a hard right and this guy just smashed right into us. Must have only been like 15 mph but that hurt. Can't imagine what this felt like though.
Glad you're ok. Also glad the impact barriers did their job, coulda been a lot worse. I wonder if they'll consider putting in gravel or sand and moving the wall back
Your gear mate? Whatever rib and back protector you were wearing, this is the best ad for them! Glad to have seen this here and learned you’re OK, after seeing the same clip randomly on insta without any details!
As a pace expert at karting, and a guy who raced 3 times in that race track, I can confirm that it’s indeed dangerous and annoying when brakes don’t respond
I don’t know why but that track is hard on brakes. I rented one of their Vortex Tags and the brakes were gone within a few laps but I kept going because we paid a lot. When I finished the session I told the guy “no brakes!!” He looked at me funny, pinched the rotor and burned his fingers.
I audibly gasped when you crescent-wrenched around the steering column into the solid barrier. That's a crazy impact. I can't believe they put a hard wall at the end of a straight like that.
Ouch. I had to watch that at 0.25 speed to see what actually happens to you. You were lucky to walk away without broken legs the way you were whipped out of the kart whilst your feet stayed trapped in position. Hope you're okay now.
Good thing youre okay man. Similar thing happened to me but someone rear ended me on a turn and i went straight in to the barrier. Sore legs for a week or two but ripped a couple toe nails off LMAO
When you play it in 0.25x speed u can see he got very lucky and only his head hit the plastic thing not the barrier, and his back got a little scratched. But the big shock was in the legs i guess That barrier was very lucky he could’ve broke it tho !
I had a similar accident but thank god I went through two plastic barriers before coming to a stop. OKC’s barriers there make no sense to me. Needs more run off
@@asthmaticvalk5708 it´s not about the speed alone. In an F1 car you´re sitting in a monocoque that is almost unbreakable and you have a 6 point seat belt. In karting you´re more exposed to certain forces (in a way)

He's racing hard as he can and this other dad is doing the same well my dad tried to overtake this guy coming up on a turn and we took a hard right and this guy just smashed right into us. Must have only been like 15 mph but that hurt. Can't imagine what this felt like though.
Glad you're ok. Also glad the impact barriers did their job, coulda been a lot worse. I wonder if they'll consider putting in gravel or sand and moving the wall back
For a second I thought that said 100 mph, holy shiz that would have been crazy. Glad you are alright.
Your gear mate? Whatever rib and back protector you were wearing, this is the best ad for them!
Glad to have seen this here and learned you’re OK, after seeing the same clip randomly on insta without any details!
I think I used bengeo
As a pace expert at karting, and a guy who raced 3 times in that race track, I can confirm that it’s indeed dangerous and annoying when brakes don’t respond
I don’t know why but that track is hard on brakes. I rented one of their Vortex Tags and the brakes were gone within a few laps but I kept going because we paid a lot.
When I finished the session I told the guy “no brakes!!” He looked at me funny, pinched the rotor and burned his fingers.
I audibly gasped when you crescent-wrenched around the steering column into the solid barrier. That's a crazy impact. I can't believe they put a hard wall at the end of a straight like that.
Ye not the smartest place. I think my leg getting caught saved me from worse injuries.
Ouch. I had to watch that at 0.25 speed to see what actually happens to you. You were lucky to walk away without broken legs the way you were whipped out of the kart whilst your feet stayed trapped in position. Hope you're okay now.
This is so horrible
No tyre barrier at the end of a straight
Better to check the back, hope you are fine
shit that was heavy. glad too se you're doing good
damn that was harsh, i lost my breath just watching, hope you got back asap and didn't let this crash scare you
He lucky that his legs work after that, hope he's ok
not the best place you want to park
nah, hope you are ok and soon back on the track!
I was back on track an hour later
Geez dude. Oh my god. Your back must of cained for ages. Hope your all good now
Good thing youre okay man. Similar thing happened to me but someone rear ended me on a turn and i went straight in to the barrier. Sore legs for a week or two but ripped a couple toe nails off LMAO
When you play it in 0.25x speed u can see he got very lucky and only his head hit the plastic thing not the barrier, and his back got a little scratched.
But the big shock was in the legs i guess
That barrier was very lucky he could’ve broke it tho !
0:25 is unbelievable. I hope you are okay.
I was ok
Omg hope your ok!
I am glad you are okay bro but the way you just launched and then proceeded to sit properly on the kart like nothing happend had me dying
I had a similar accident but thank god I went through two plastic barriers before coming to a stop. OKC’s barriers there make no sense to me. Needs more run off
Karting drivers are the real warriors, way more dangerous than actual formula racing
100kmh compared to 340. I'd say formula 1 is way more dangerous than karting.
@@asthmaticvalk5708 it´s not about the speed alone. In an F1 car you´re sitting in a monocoque that is almost unbreakable and you have a 6 point seat belt. In karting you´re more exposed to certain forces (in a way)
@@TheJester12 and a halo, in karting you are at 100 km/h with your entire top half unprotected from debris
wow! thank god your ok man
That was a big one, let me know your OK
Why would that blue wall be so low, that's just a back cracker
Hey man, you can't park your cart there.
In all seriousness that looked brutal and seriously painful.
This is the best comment so far
Lmfaooo
I finally found one with great joke
