I’m guessing a ban on Muslim headgear wouldn’t be well received even after an incident like that.
Police and WorkCover investigation
Detective Inspector Fox said police removed the go-kart from the site and were examining it mechanically and forensically.
Police were also speaking to the track’s operators and the woman’s family.
A decision on whether an inquest would be held would be made after a brief is prepared for the coroner, Detective Inspector Fox said.
WorkCover, which is responsible for the safety of amusement devices in NSW, is investigating.
A WorkCover NSW spokesman today said investigators had placed prohibition notices on two go-karts at the track.
One was for an unregistered go-kart and another for a go-kart “that did not have significant guarding”, the spokesman said.
Go-karts are “classified as amusement devices that have to be registered for safety purposes”, he said.
The owner of Port Stephens Go-Karts said she did not want to comment.
In February, a 15-year-old British schoolgirl was strangled to death when her scarf was caught in a go-kart wheel in Hong Kong.
In December, an 18-year-old girl in Cambridge, England, died after her scarf got stuck in a go-kart engine and strangled her.
Renowned dancer Isadora Duncan was strangled to death in 1927 when the scarf she had on was entangled in a convertible’s rear wheel.
No it’s obviously the track owners fault for not making his Go Karts Sharia complaint.
