According to the Saferparks Database, go-kart accidents account for the highest rate (8%) of hospital admissions at amusement parks. Meanwhile, injuries resulting from inflatable devices and waterslides account for only 6% and 2% of hospital admissions, respectively. Go-kart incidents occur most often from collisions with other cars, as well as collisions with walls or barriers on the track.
Injuries from go-kart accidents include:
While these are some commonly reported injuries, other serious conditions can result from a go-kart accident. The force of the impact with a wall or other car can cause whiplash, broken bones, and soft tissue injuries, as well as concussions and other brain trauma. Statistics show that boys between the ages of 7 and 12 suffer the most injuries from go-cart accidents at amusement parks, but teens and adults are also at risk.

If you are injured in a go-kart accident at an amusement park, the following people may be liable:
Ride operators and park employees must provide adequate safety warnings and operating instructions to go-kart riders. If they negligently fail to do so, and a rider is injured, they may be held liable in a lawsuit. Park employees also have a responsibility to perform regular inspections of the go-kart track. This can help ensure there are no unsafe conditions, such as debris on the track, that could cause a crash. If the ride operators and park employees negligently fail to uphold their duty of care to riders, or act carelessly and cause an accident, they may be held liable in a personal injury lawsuit.
Furthermore, if the go-kart itself malfunctions and injures a rider, the manufacturer may be held responsible. A product defect or safety hazard inherent in the go-kart itself may point to improper design or manufacturing. If you or a loved one is injured because of a defective go-kart, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the company in charge of producing and manufacturing the vehicle itself.
