If I recall correctly what I read last week, over a period of about eight years there were over 800 golf cart accidents in The Villages. A huge percentage of those led to people being hospitalized, and another large percentage of the injuries were due to people falling out of the golf cart because of the accident.
Accordingly, I’ve purchased from Amazon a set of seatbelts for my twenty year old golf cart (which came with the house), and I’ll be installing them soon. It’s easy. I always wear my seatbelt in my car. Why shouldn’t I wear one in my golf cart? What if I have a passenger, take a sharp turn, and the passenger falls out? Would I be liable? And if I don’t have golf cart insurance, would it come out of my pocket?
