Dramatic footage has emerged of a young go-kart driver being flung from his kart during a crash at a track in Florida, USA.

The video, filmed at Palm Beach Kart Center last week, shows the go-kart speeding around the track.

Suddenly, when he notices that the flag for the end of the session is being waved, he tries to take a "hard right" and ends up hitting barriers and being flung from the driver's seat.

Fortunately, "he walked away from it like nothing happened."
