Roll cage close one....

[rgvkid]

This could have been a close one. Maybe if the bumper wasn't on it would have rolled through, but it gives you a good idea of how much momentum you can get even with a little bit of air.

Look at every kart vid on youtube; 99.9% of them happen this way. The moral is, don't try and jump your kart.

Worst thing you can do is stick your limbs outside of the kart in a roll over. Might want to invest in some arm restraints when doing serious driving.

Ha its better to stick your arms out than sticking your head out ,,lol ,,

JB weld?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Naa super clue, jb weld takes too long to dry.


My friend actually flipped my kart today, not sure how exactly he did it, just turned and didnt even hit the brakes...I have never even got a wheel off the ground with this thing haha. He was fine tho, no harm done beside a bent brake pedal.

 

[BradenM]

Broken head? Jb Weld? Natural selection.

 

[THE HUNTER]

use JB weld, but just hold everything in place with duct tape till it hardens!

 

[kimo]

then ull get a bold man when u remove the duct tape ... reminds me of hair removal using wax (not that i ever did it ...)

I actually watched one of my buddies a couple years back try to stop a kart from rolling over by putting his hand on the ground as it rolled. It came down on his arm, then sprung back to it's wheels. He let me have a go, insisting he needed a minute to rest. Within twenty minutes he was bawling, turns out it broke his arm in three spots.

Hang on to that steering wheel with all your strength! A roll cage does no good if you dont stay within it's protective area.
