mine isnt too bad. it was my second ever day driving the kart and i was cruizing round the lap as it was the first lap of the first test session of the day and i wanted to make sure nothing fell off. i was doing about 25 round a very nasty corner and got rammed from behind. i managed to recover the oversteer, but he kept his foot in and turned me back around into the wall. the impact wernt too bad (steering collumn 'v' shaped, both track rods broken, front left stub axle bent at 45 degrees, rear bumber bent and twisted so that it was rubbing on the rear wheel) but what really hurt was that when i hit the wall i was thrown out of the seat, to stop my head from hitting the wall i held onto the steering wheel, and when it all came to rest i fell back onto the edge of the seat. i landed on my coccyx...i couldnt sit down without pain for about a week. i still completed the test day though with some borrowed parts!
