Avoid a Go Kart Accident

Go Kart racing can be very fun, but it can also lead to serious injury if you're not careful. Here's an article to help you avoid that situation.

Steps

  1. Keep a distance away from other racers. If you give others space, you can minimize your chances of crashing, as you'll both have more time to react. Stay especially far from children; they may either think crashing into people is a game, or may have no idea of what they're doing.
  2. Take the inside corners of turns so people can't clip you from behind.
  3. Don't let people get directly in front of you; they may stop unexpectedly, causing you to crash into them.
  4. Move to the side to avoid crashes if they are directly in front of you. Stop for a while if that's the only way to give yourself more room.
  5. Warn the operator of the ride if someone is giving you an especially hard time.
  6. Don't go too fast around corners,or you might slam into a wall.
  7. Look and focus on where you are going, and avoid staring at the back of other karts and avoid staring at the barriers. This may eventually end up in hitting one of them because you're supposed to be focusing on where you need to go instead.
