I went visit Anton first thing this morning at Westmead Hospital. He was just getting dressed and signing himself out from his bedside.
He is in very good sprits and seems to be his same self Anton we all know and love.
Other than bruising and scrapes on his back, elbows and knee, he seems to be fine. He is very cautious of the signs he needs to look out for in the event he has head injuries over the next 3 days so I'm sure he will do just fine resting up in Melbourne.
He had no problems walking from his bed to the carpark, be it a limp, and is already talking of his new machine.
The picture below is from page 14 of the Daily Telegraph in Sydney.

So what was the cause of the accident?

Update on Anton
The side of Anton's front tyre made contact with the side of my rear tyre which made the front of his kart lift. Once the air got under his floor tray it turned into a kite.
I had no knowledge or indication of anyone behind me, I also kept my normal racing line as if I was on the circuit by myself.
In Anton's own words to Rod Prickett was "Rocky, I just ****ed up"
After the incident I was no longer in the right frame of mind to race anymore at 100%, but was consoled and encoraged by Rod and Anton's crew chief Kevin to go out and give it my best in the final because that's what Anton would want me to do.
I think we should just leave the incident at that and be thankful Anton is good and well.

It was perfect side contact of 2 tires that gripped at the high speeds that provided the initial lift and the clean path of air in front of Anton that provided the uplift under his floor tray.
Dare I say that wide rims could have provided that extra buffer of the actual rims hitting each other and bouncing off before the tyre sidewalls made such great contact grip together?
