Ok so I just got home.
Vibs was driving a Go-Kart in which I was a (willing) passenger.
To cut a long story short, a little bit too fast, a bump at precisely the wrong time, and a turn all at the wrong time caused said go-kart to roll over onto its left side, while we were doing approx. 15mph.
We were both strapped in, and I was airborne in the right-hand side for a while while "the dust settled," as it were.
Although he didn't get his arm crushed underneath a rollbar or anything, we think that what happened was that he put his left arm out instinctively to try and brace himself for the inevitable impact. Obviously the force of a Go-Kart with 2 people in it at 15mph was a little too much for his arm to take.
He has a VERY bad fracture/break to his upper left arm - the last I heard as I left the hospital was that they were re-xraying the injury and that they would probably have to operate and put a nail of some description into his arm to help it heal. So it's likely that he may be stuck in hospital for a couple of days...
On a slightly lighter note, I escaped with just a grazed/bruised left forearm and some grass stains.
I also got a pic of him in the ambulance just before it left with him in it, which should be attached to this post.
