"A witness said the kart stopped suddenly at one side of the track and the blue scarf was attached to it," said a police spokesman. "An initial investigation showed the cause of death was neck strangulation."
Apparently her scarf got caught in the motor and she was strangled to death. Doesn't it take several minutes to strangle someone to death? I figured some safety personnel would have gotten her out by then...
that's partial fault on the attendants. Who in their right minds would let someone on with a scarf, it's stupid. Even long hair had to be tied let alone a scarf...

nah, the strangling force is not from her own body weight (hanging) plus she might be struggling so that means her brain is using more oxygen for those action, meaning she suffocates faster, goes unconscious probably after 10 - 15 second, and maybe 10 more second then she dies?
and the staff there are useless, how the hell can they let her on with a scarf dangling off her neck~...this is just stupid...RIP the little girl
Where is the go-kart track in HK? I thought go karting was only in Macau.
Around Tun Muen.
RIP.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
As the kart continues to to travel forward the scarf will get tighter and tighter. Even after she lifts off the gas the momentum of the kart will start increasing in tightness until she finally stops.
Its very hard to catch these things depending on situation, They usually have their scarfs tucked into their jackets etc making it look harmless to the staff. But as vibrations and bumps occur it will rattle loose.
Anyways, I will be showing this to my staff. We already have signs placed up everywhere and I hope we will never have to deal with a problem even close to this.
hey when we gokart in canada, do we have to sign waiver forms where they say their not responsible if anything happens n shit?
or can i send my wife gokarting with her nice new scarf
that's just horrible... i remember something similar, but it involved a passenger on the back of a motorcycle and her scarf got tangled in the rear wheel spokes
