Woman strangled by her hijab in go-kart accident

A woman in Australia died when the Islamic head dress she was wearing was caught in the axle of a go-kart she was driving yesterday.

The 26-year-old Muslim had been enjoying a day out with family at the Port Stephens Go-Karts track when her hijab became caught up at high speed.



Paramedics said the Sydney woman suffered severe neck injuries and went into cardiac arrest after the hijab's material tightened rapidly around her throat.

Shocked onlookers freed her from the kart and paramedics managed to revive her before she was airlifted to Newcastle's John Hunter Hospital in a critical condition. She died later.

It would be easier to just ban them from going out in public.

But no.  The rest of us will end up having to cater to their stupidity.
