Some believe that go karts are pretty harmless, just because they have such a generous track and their geometry and low center of gravity appears to make them exceedingly safe.
Well, the truth in real-life is indeed much different, no matter how stable these vehicles may seem as they drift around the turn. Their low-profile wheels can easily come in contact and when such a thing happens, it's flying time, sometimes with severe consequences.
Remember that go karts have no roll bars and the pilots are just as exposed as the motorcycle riders are, with the perspective of a very rough time in case the kart flips over.
Luckily it was just some airborne time for this racer, at least, this time. Those who still believe that go karts are only safe fun, please observe how powerful was the lifting force which propelled machine and pilot 1 meter into the air. Not exactly a smooth ride, was it?
