Shocking! Boy burned dangerously when he tried to turn on a homemade go-kart

He tried to turn it on with his younger brother and two other acquaintances in Sajólászlófalva, a small village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. The go-kart was ignited by the gasoline vapour escaping from an empty can. The 12-year-old is currently treated in a hospital, but his condition is still critical.

According to index.hu, his hair and his body above the waist were burnt, as well as both hands. “Thank God he did not inhale warm air,

so the fire did not reach his lungs because then he would not have any chance of survival,”

Bence’s mother told RTL Klub. He is currently treated at a local hospital with his younger brother, she added.

The owner of the go-kart told RTL Klub that he was not at home when his 12-year-old son and his younger brother tried to turn on the vehicle.
