I would like to hear more about the driver exiting the tunnel. Did they stop and render aid? Is there one of those wide-angle mirrors on the wall to help tunnel traffic to see better when they exit? Were these young guests out for a joy ride or Villagers who were probably distracted by talking. Whatever the excuse, there is none for exiting a tunnel without looking.
I found driving a cart is no different than a car. Defensive driving, neither driver used any. I don't blame the driver going through straight, but if they had slowed and had their foot hover over the brake as they entered the downhill path, they probably wouldn't have to swerve causing the cart to flip.
There is plenty of blame for the tunnel driver, and any tickets should be coming their way. The only excuse could be the bright sunlight temporary blinded them, but then that's another reason they should of stopped at the hold line instead of busting out into a cart path without looking.
