Kitchener jury did fnot have enough infôrmation The decisions handed down .by Kitchener, Ontario coronor's jury are not "precise, too general and made with a decided lack of information," says the gene- ral manager of Whitby's Family Kartways, Bob Clark. The five-man jury was investigating the death of a 14 year old boy who died of a fractured skull the dy after his rented go-kart went out of control and flipped over, at Erbsville Kartway in Waterloo, on July 21. "They (the jury) obviously did not investigate the go- kart field thoroughly enough or else they would have come up with more appropriate answers," Clark said last week. He said, however, that the operation of Family Kart- ways has not changed since the August 14 death of a 10 year old Scarborough boy. An inquest has been called into the death of Darren Bess, November 28. The jury gave two major Coronor's jury wants standards for go-karts recommendations, that roll bars be put on all go-karts at least three inches above the driver's head and that lap belts be installed in all vehi- cles nlot using lower or drop- type seats. Clark said that "without a seat belt, a roll bar become ineffectual." "Go-karts are not con- structed to come to impact with solid objects," he said, "and can't be compared to cars. It's like putting a seat belt on a motorcycle." Go-karts are designed for maneuverability, lightness and speed. Clark pointed out that the World Karting Association, International Karting Fede- ration and the Federation of International Automobiles all prohibit the use of seat belts in go-karts. The karts at Family Kart- ways use the lower or drop- type seats are not requir.ed to use seat belts but even if they had to Clark said they "would not improve the si- tuation." A Kitchener, Ontario coronor's jury has recom- mended that an agency be set up to set standards for go-karts and go-kart tracks across the province. That inquiry was investi- gating the death of a 14 year old boy who died at Erbsville Kartways in Waterloo on July 21 in a go-kart accident. The boy's rented go-kart went out of control and flip- ped over. The five man jury said that the agency it recommended should regulate the speed of go-karts, set age limits for their use and· monitor tracks. An inquest is scheduled for November 28 into the August 4 death of a 10 year old Scarborough boy who was killed in a go-kart accident at Whitby's Family Kartways. The Kitchenrer jury also recommended.that roll bars, approximately eight centi- meters above the driver's head, be installed on all go-karts; that lap belts be put in karts with high seats; that a penalty system be imposed to prevent racing; that barricades be built to ~stop karts from flying off the track in an accident and that there be person at the track during races who is trained in first aid.
