    Wasn't sure if this was better suited here or sprockets.

    Saw a kart crash like that on the streets of Willow. Only one kart and one rider. Rider got leg caught around steering and onto throttle pedal. Both he and cart did the dance.

    That was ...somewhat unusual for sure. Any idea why the first guy went down? Did he have a tire failure?

    Doesn't take much under heavy braking. Maybe a bump, or it looks as if maybe he tried to tip it in too soon.

    There was a good one a few years ago where a guy slid out, the bike went on its side and somehow he wound up sitting on the bike's side as it slid off the track. I've tried several times to find it again with no luck.

    this wouldn't have happened if the riders were tethered to the kill switch like they make snowmobile racers do..
