Woman Dies After Her Hair Gets Caught In Go-Kart Wheel

A 28-year-old woman was killed when her hair got stuck in the rear tire of a go-kart she was driving while on vacation with her family in India reports Fox News

The shocking incident happened at the Aqua Village amusement park in Pinjore, India. The woman and her husband were riding together in the go-kart when her hair came loose and got stuck in the tire, ripping her scalp off. Their two-year-old son and grandmother were watching from the stands as the horrific accident unfolded. She was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead when she arrived.

A manager for the amusement park said the incident “left everyone shocked." The park is investigating how the accident happened and the manager said that "usually, all safety measures are followed."

"Usually, all safety measures are followed. One person has been tasked with ensuring that all people wear proper head gear and follow other rules before using a go-kart. It is shocking this incident happened."

The woman's husband wants to know how it happened. She had her hair wrapped in a bun, using a rubber band supplied by the park, which appears to have broken, letting her hair fall down near the wheel of the go-kart.

“My wife and I were enjoying the ride on the go-kart. Suddenly, my wife’s hair got loose and I heard her scream. I raised an alarm and when the kart stopped, her scalp was peeled off. I do not know the quality of the rubber band and the helmet given to my wife."

The park has closed the track until further notice.
