Walking the MMP everyday I can give an informal audit that states most using seat belts in a golf cart do so unsafely. The have the belt above their belly button!!!!!

In an accident they are almost assured of an internal injury.

Maybe it is because the design of the golf cart and the only place to attach the belts does not allow them to be worn safely. If that happened to be the case one may be spending money for appearance and a false sense of security.

Seat belts above the belly button is an injury begging to happen.
Given the size of a majority of cart drivers I see, a belt will only fit above the belly button
