Video: Worst go-kart pileup ever?

Filed under: Motorsports, Etc., Safety, Videos

When go-karts attack – Click above to watch the video

Ever see those Tour de France crashes that start with one guy in Spandex shorts face-planting into the cement and ends up with 30 or 40 cyclists cascading like dominoes? It’s a horrific site to be sure; one that gets replayed dozens of times on sportscasts the world over. These chain-reaction crashes happen in motorsports, but the pileups aren’t usually as robust. Or are they?

Beyond the jump is video of one go-karter who sideswipes a barrier, which sets off a wet track karting collision extraordinaire. The video is only 17 seconds long, but we guarantee that this Monaco affair contains all the ~~carnage~~ action you’ll need to see to feel better about your day. And while the go-karts look like they’re moving pretty darn fast, it doesn’t appear as though anyone was hurt. Hit the jump to watch 52-kart pickup.

Video: The very worst kind of lift-off close call

Filed under: Truck, Etc., Safety, Videos, Dodge

Hmm, that doesn’t seem centered anymore – Click above to watch video after the jump

Working with a car on a lift can be a dangerous if you don’t understand what you are doing. Procedures have to be followed and safety is the name of the game. As one very lucky mechanic learned, even when something looks centered on a lift, it may not be safe.

Timing is, as we often hear, everything in life. The guy in this video should feel pretty good that the other person came in to talk to him. Otherwise he might have been the meat in a Dodge Ram/Concrete floor sandwich. Slip off the jump to see why garage lifts require that you always stay alert when a vehicle is in the air. Thanks for the tip, IHateAirplanes!
