I have read some statistics on sports injuries. In conclusion, I would say kart racing is safer than snow skiing. In the 40 years I raced (not continually) I saw the ambulance leave the track maybe 3 times. I flipped only 2wice in so many races I can't count them. No injuries. I had one guy flip in front of me in a multi kart wreck at the start at Willow Springs in T2. I saw another guy flip coming out of T7 in another race there. Nothing too serious except some soiled britches and sore joints.

The most serious incident I saw kart racing was a guy about 40 who was a smoker that had a fatal heart attack on the track.
