Thoughts, experiences?

Last week I had to swerve to avoid a serious collision with others who had stopped in the middle of the MM path to chat. I was the unlucky one who had to swerve on my left. My cart went up on the curb of the median and I was ejected from my golf cart. I sustained a compound fracture to my right ankle and other injuries to my upper body. I will not be able to walk or play golf until after the first of the year. Had I had the seatbelts, I would not have been thrown from the golf cart. Hindsight is 2020. I hope you decide to avoid the possibility of spending time in the hospital in excruciating pain and spend the extra $200 and buy the seatbelts. There are people out there who do not know to exit the path when chatting, texting or using the phone. Don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
