Thoughts, experiences?
In my opinion, you should definitely get the seat belts. They don't get in the way at all and you don't use them on the golf course. Most of the serious injuries or fatalities involving golf carts are from people being thrown from them. It happens a lot believe it or not. The person who made comparison to bicycles is not taking into consideration the numbers of golf carts compared to bicycles and the close proximity and speeds at which they operate. Get the seat belts!!
