Ouch. I know how breaking ribs feels, I broke all mine in a ice hockey accident and punctured a lung. Take it easy and relax for the next 6 weeks to 3 months.

mate tbh driver error but its a very veyr thin line with that cart

when i say driver error I mean theres nothing in it, we'd been rapeing it all day on the track me and me mate Tim and we were evenly matched for times

then on that corner exit slight to much power after gear change and it was game over

it was a skitish fucker I can tell ya
