We moved to The Villages just over a year ago and purchased a golf cart shortly after moving in.

Seat belts (retractable) were included with the cart and we use them on the multi modal paths.

Since moving here just over a year ago, we’ve made friends with a person who was ejected from her cart and suffered a broken back. Fortunately , she healed and now has and uses seat belts regularly.

We saw a helicopter air lift a person who was thrown from her cart and seriously injured. I understand that her recovery was long and difficult.

The seat belts don’t interfere on the golf course when they are not in use.

I think that having and using them is a personal choice, but a prudent one, especially for maturing people.
