Go kart freak accident

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...Hong-Kong.html

Quote:
"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.

Can "drown" in 6sec? (I think is the fastest). This is basically the same thing.

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.

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.

I've seen this happen a lot, but much less fatal.

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.

The staff should have told her that, I remember girls with long hair had to tie them up as well for safety.
