I got the pleasure of doing something like this once. Karting club run our karts in the parade. At the end, there was a line of vehicles for several blocks. Still in our karts, we were able to just blow right on by.
Funny to see him put that seat belt on. When I first started racing karts I asked one of the kart federation officials "Why don't you require seat belts?" "Injuries are less severe if you get thrown clear of the kart in the event of an accident."
