It is possible that in terms of fatalities per mile driven, golf carts are safer than cars. I am not saying it is true but you may wish to consider that it might be. I don't have the statistics. Typically, safety statistics are presented in those sorts of terms. For example, with airliners. Nobody will question that a car offers more protection if you are in an accident than a golf cart but you may statistically be at greater risk of being in an fatal accident with a car than a golf cart. If you are trying to minimize risk, statistics provide useful information with regard to random events (which the thread subject matter was).
