Which is precisely why there are strict H&S regulations in place and this idiot marshall chose to ignore them.

:clap:

 

Well done you found a link to a incident where the track was “closed” and some kids were showing off.

 

‘All drivers have to wear race suits and helmets and they certainly wouldn’t have been allowed to drive wearing a scarf.

Keep digging , the majority of people on this thread haven’t mentioned religion or faith, if my son wanted to go on the karts wearing his football scarf no doubt someone would ask him to remove it and that would be it, end of story.

 

Keep digging? I guess you're bright enough to question why someone having an accident in Australia is of interest to people in Sheffield? The inference to religion or faith is inherent in the thread title by the way, if it had of been an Australian wearing a football scarf I doubt it would have raised a single column inch here.

 

What’s freak about loose clothing and moving parts, not exactly rocket science is it.

 

You might be quite right, and there's nothing exceptional about accidents of this nature, if it had happened in Wincobank I could understand it having local interest.

All kart racing in Australia is under the rules of the AKA. Their requirements are pretty similar to ours.

 

ie

 

Helmets must be full face and confornm to racing standards not road requirements.

 

Full safety suits are required and the too must be to the required racing specification

 

Racing specification padded gloves are also required.

 

Did you read what I posted? I never suggested she wasn't wearing any of these items, you intimated that!

Perhaps in your usual rush to get on the race bandwagon you neglected to remove your head from up your backside and posted a load of accusations before checking your facts.

 

LOL, really? Forgive me, but you played the race card..remember?

 

You've no idea what this woman said, whether she was wearing a helmet or indeed whether she did this:

 

Perhaps she branded them racists for telling her what to wear and forced them to let her out on the track.

[Digsy]

It certainly doesn't work like that. In any motor sport whether on a public circuit or an indoor track the event and track have to be licensed and that requires conforming to the national governing body of motor sport regulation IN FULL.

 

These regulations are not optional. Every person has to undergo a safety briefing before taking to the track and scrutineers check both the vehicle and driver for full compliance. It is quite clear that someone here ignored the rules for whatever reason..

 

Which country are you talking about, The UK, US, AU, UAE?

Hazard a guess as to where these were taken, I'll give you a clue, it's a developed country.

Or this, which can be booked here http://www.kiddyleisure.co.uk/gokarts.php and hosted pretty much anywhere in the uk that has space.

And does not require any safety gear.

 

I guess if the following woman had got her head gear caught in the cart, it would be a different matter right?

And then in contrast (and in agreement with you) if you go to any of the large tracks in the UK you simply cannot get into a go-kart unless you wear gear like this.

And no, people cannot scream discrimination because they have to wear the right gear, and no court of law would favour a discrimination case from someone that did.

For no other reason than it being H+S standards.

Oh Digsy, dont let the facts interfere with a good old rant about Muslims!

[Digsy]

Btw emma, the kiddyleisure and nun sentences are not directed at you hun, it was thrown in there for all the anti-islamic pricks (<-- this word is used in the sense of "thorn in the side" opposed to the sexual part of a males anatomy).

No I didn't play the race card. It is just that you are obsessed with it and have an ability to imagine racism in everyones posting. Perhaps you should take time out.

I think I have already pointed out that all Karting in Australia falls under the governance of the AKA. It is their requirement that proper protective gear is worn otherwise a track will not be allowed to operate.

At the track in question in Australia it was a requirement that helmets were worn. But don't let that simple fact get in the way of your eternal quest to find racism everywhere. Perhaps if you knocked a few chips off your shoulders you would have a happier life.
