I understand that accidents happen. They happen to walkers, bikers, drivers of golf carts, drivers of cars, people climbing ladders, etc. etc. It's up to each individual how much "risk" we wish to take as long as we don't injure somebody else. This has been the "American way". I for one vote to keep it this way without government interference.
I find as I become older, I am taking more risks; more risky activities, not necessarily careless behavior. I feel that if I go now, I had more than my share of good living. Over 5 years of retirement living which is more than anyone could ask for. Riskier activities do have that adrenalin factor that makes one feel alive. More oldsters should try it. Look at Bush senior sky diving at 80 something. If people want a 30 mph golf cart, enjoy. Have fun. Some people drive cars on BV and Morris that have the capability of going 180+ mph. Doesn't mean they go that fast, but every once in a while maybe they do 100 or so on a country road.
