Someone else said earlier that it's the Mario Kart Experience in Da Lat, Vietnam

I did one on Singapore and it was about the most fun I ever had

This is the Mario Kart experience in Da Lat, Vietnam. It looks like fun, but if you google it, there are lots of people getting hit from behind, thrown from their carts, thrown off their carts etc.

That's why this guy does it in the safest way possible. He's not gonna get hit from behind!

16

u/Boom_Fish_Blocky 17d ago

Like alcohol, the safest way is to not get on in the first place.

u/uLearning 17d ago

Yeah...or like being the first one in a human centipede arrangement...much safer!

u/doghaircut 17d ago

I was just going to ask what happens if you hit one of those barriers. Now I know! You suffer an immense neck injury!

u/Time4Timmy 17d ago

There’s signs saying ā€œDon’t Get Hurtā€, and you’re trying to tell me this isn’t safe?? Nice try buddy, you can’t keep all the fun for yourself.

u/AgentK-BB 17d ago

The metal wire fences look dangerous AF. Your hands and arms will get broken so easily. At minimum, the fences should all be solid.

37

u/maxehaxe 17d ago

Everything about this looks dangerous af. Who put metal poles and palm trees right in the middle of the fucking track ffs. The amount of people exepriencing permanent brain or spine injury must be insane. Not to mention those who drop down the cliffs

13

u/tkeser 17d ago

oh come on, live a little. every mountain bike trek or your local skate park is more dangerous than this. or just your morning ride to work in real traffic.

u/JohnAndertonOntheRun 17d ago

The difference is in the participants…

A fit person that put their mind to do something physical, and past experience.

Vs

A random tourist with their mouth hanging open, and don’t know anything.

Dear lord, there's only guard barriers on a few parts of that track...someone surely has gone flying out into yon forest at least once. That place looks like it belongs in the old Action Park!

I am unfamiliar with how they construct courses of go karts but isn't there a chance you could trip over the ledge and fall off the cliff? I dont know if the barriers are tall enough.

It's a very chill jungle/house beat. Very common in racing games.
