Gunmetalef

thats what i would like to know that **** is crazy

Seriously eh, i never thought it was that dangerous. . .and the rules their are pretty strict...if they catch u bumping or slightly driving agressively they talk to you. . lol or throw u out if u do it again. . .

the karts there aren't as fast as some places either

i don't think . . .

one thing i remember really clearly though is going around one turn with my friend and me side by side......he came in close so he wouldn't hit the wall....and you know the bumper gaurd that goes all around the kart......well that piece went under my bumper guard piece...and lifted my kart up a bit.....if we went around another turn in the opposite direction....and he pushed into me more...well meh. . .

but he pulled away quick when we realized what happened

I really don't get how that could happen. I've raced there numurous times in endurance races and there hasn't been so much as someone getting airborn. only way I could see this happening is if he went head on into the tire wall near a concrete wall full steam and the helmet wasn't prperlyt strapped on

ppl can die anywhere. I had a friend of mine go to the beach to tan. he fell asleep and never woke up. tanning or carting, just cuz someone died doing it doesn't mean it's OMGdanger!!!11eleven

"The victim suffered a heart attack while driving his go-kart and was dead before crashing into a barrier"

heart attack supposedly killed him........?

imported_Fug

^^i'd say so.......prolly a really serious heart attack...obviously....

stock94block

how does an 18 year old have a heart attack?

i guess it was just his time

cibs

you can have a heart attack at any age

imported_Zyepher

My buddy called me and told me what happened...That ish is messed..my mom was telling me about how a boy she was treating died of a heart attack at the age of 14 two weeks ago.

nashall

that is messed up.....so young

imported_Thrill_House

There is such a thing as a medical condition as well, im suprised nobody has brought that up. If this kid had a medical condition, diagnosed or undiagnosed, then perhaps thats what caused the heart attack and maybe it could of happened anywhere at anytime but it happened to occur while in a go cart. On the other hand perhaps being in the go cart is what helped cause the heart attack.

imported_kIeRaN

thats crappy, nobody deserves to die at such a young age

ItalianMafia

yeah that sucks.. ..r.i.p..
i dont understand why Pulse24 said he was dead b4 crashing into the barrier, because when i read the other thread from CSi, that guys brother was trying to get him to breathe but it was only on/off.. wouldn't that mean that he was still alive? and possibly if the paramedics went faster they might of saved his life? or am i wrong
