I wouldn’t have a cart without belts. If you get hit by a car , another cart, or just run over a curb—you’re going to be thrown out of the cart!

My son was visiting last year and as we were crossing the service road at the light in front of Colony Cottage Rec Center, an elderly gentleman in another cart not paying attention turned right into us and t-boned our cart. He tipped our cart on about a 45-degree angle, almost flipping it completely over. My son and I would both have been thrown out of the cart had we not been belted in. Flying thru the air to land on the road without injury or worse? Not a chance.

You won’t live down here for very long without seeing similar accidents or cart and car drivers who should have caused an accident. No seat belts? You’re taking your life in your hands.
