Seat belts help prevent occupants from being thrown from carts when making quick turns, like when avoiding something in their path. They also prevent ejection during collisions that do not involve a rollover. We have a neighbor who was hurt badly when their cart struck a fixed object. The passenger, not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the cart and suffered some serious injuries. In a rollover crash, you're gonna get hurt whether you're wearing a seatbelt or not. But, for us, the seat belts get used 100% of the time, just like in a car.
