Karts and Sandals

Went Go Karting today, which was fun. As we were waiting for our turn to get onto the course we decided to watch the people already racing. As the chequered flag was shown, the karts had to slowly approach the pits by navigating through 2 large white barriers. As one of the guys made his way to the pits I remember turning to my friend and saying, "He's going abit too fast, isn't he?". Sure enough, the pasty white Brit slammed into the barriers in beautiful, comical fashion.

He looked pretty shaken up. Turns out he got his sandal caught under the brake pedal. Sounds like a scene from the film 'Final Destination' to me.

Anyway, then we got to go on. I span out once from approaching a corner too quickly but my second stop was intentional. I was coming down the straight and the floor of the kart lowered slightly which meant the metal floor was scraping along the ground, causing sparks to fly up. I stopped the kart, kicked the floor upwards and carried on. It was either that or finish in 1st place but with 80% burns. Maybe the Go Karts there were cursed.
