The 'Take Back The City' singer was taking some time off with the rest of the band on their current tour of Germany when the incident occurred.
"I had my very best idiot trousers on in Germany at the street gig and we did a go-kart track in Dettenheim," Lightbody told the Daily Record.
"I did say beforehand that I shouldn't be in charge of anything that can go over 20 miles per hour, and secondly I am the most accident-prone idiot in the Western world."
He added: "Did I heed my own advice? No! Crash after crash I finished on a particularly nasty one that put me in hospital where I discovered I had a broken rib."
Lightbody is reportedly expected to make a full recovery and resume touring within the next few days.
