Woman ignored/failed to see warning signs about long hair at go-cart park.
Woman gets hair caught in go-cart.
Woman has scalp/ear ripped off.
Woman is cut out of go-cart with scissors.
Woman expected to make a full recovery.
Woman wants bigger signs.

why did she need to be cut out of the cart, i dont understand that

the rest i do understand, shes dumb and didnt pay attenton to the warnings

From what I gathered, they had to cut the scalp with 4 feet of hair attached, out of the go cart so that they could re-attach it.

Honestly, people don't have any respect for machines these days.

or before getting into a gokart you should be required to watch a 3 hr safety video and take a reading comprehension test.

maybe they could get an audible alarm for Drano as well, "Don't drink me, dumbass" or something?

I don't know why, but that had me laughing so hard. Is it true?

Fortunately after a good hosing down and some WD40 the cart is doing fine!

The cart should have a outline of a fat woman on it like fighter planes. To bad it didn't rip out her ovaries so she couldn't make any more dumb kids.

But we know what the real answer for this is. BAN Go-Carts.

Ha ha, me too. Not to mention that she is a really big girl. How the hell did the go cart manage to climb to a high enough speed to cause such damage?

i hate cnn videos. just give me a article about what happened.

Agreed. I know the reason they don't however. I'm sure they get paid way more to stick an ad for pepsi in front of a crap quality video then some banner ads in a webpage no one clicks on. But its cumbersome and time consuming to watch a video compared to reading an article...plus its less favorable to work.

The fact that it is a video and not something you can read, coupled with the nature of the content is irony, no?

Ouch.

It isn't the first time it's happened. I've seen an actual video of it, on Real Extreme Videos or some other crap TV show.

What a dumbass. When you have hair down to your fricken KNEES you should take better care to not get it tangled up in moving parts.

I'm still confused as to what alkemyst's line of thought in regards to that is. pants prevents scalping?

Seriously, though, would it be that hard to teach the pimple-farmers who strap you in to remind people about long hair? They are smart enough to do that at plenty of amusement parks, and my once-long-haired brother even got asked to put his hair in his shirt when riding... drum roll please... a go-kart. You'd think it would be basic common sense to reduce liability, like not allowing flip-flops or colossal fatties.
