Just finish up my RD350 powered Gokart. We need to weld a bracket on . So i turned it up on it's side welded tab on . Looked ready to go, got a push start. Jump on the gas get down near the end of the block put the breaks on. Oh my they right to the floor. I Fly out on to Pacific Coast Hwy at rush hour. Manage not get hit by rush hour traffic . Yes I saw a car bumper miss me It was close. I guess when we tipped it air went in to break system from top master cylinder .

My dad was fixing a friends little go kart and had me test it out when the guy got their to show it worked. I was only like 7 and I started going and then I noticed that the kart was maintaining max speed when I wasn't pressing the gas. Started to stomp on the brake and it still wouldn't stop. :/ I was scared! Lol I couldn't find anything hit that would have a soft impact except for a old tire that was in the back yard. So I by that tire and the kart flew up in the air and landed I jumped out a fast as I could an the kart took off!!! It hit a table then hit one of our campers tires and stopped but with the tires still going rofl. My dad said I got about 4 feet in the air when I hit that tire lol it was a small light kart xD crazy scary especially for the age I was.

Well, yesterday I was driving my 49cc pocket bike. I was at top speed and suddenly the rear tyre started slipping and the engine rev'ed up to a lot of rpm! After a very slippy ride I came to a stop. I saw the chain broke, which then completely turned around my wheel rim and sprocket. So it blocked my rear tyre.

Luckily, I'm completely fine, but it could have been worser.
