Default Stubbed My Toe

This is the most interesting posting and the responses in a long time. One matter I haven't seen addressed in the responses is why someone would want a lifted cart? The danger of tipping over in a golf cart is real. Anyone who has lived here for more than a year or two and who regularly uses a cart on the multi-modal paths has seen at least one cart laying on its side. They are even easier to tip over on a golf course given the slopes and the slippery grass. If you haven't seen one in person, there are plenty of photos.

My personal experience is more mundane. I've ridden with a friend who has a lifted cart. I've both stubbed my toe getting in the cart and stumbled getting out of the cart as my mind expects there to be the normal threshold height. It's as if you are being asked to use a stairway where the rise of the steps is greater than that mandated by the Uniform Building Code. If the example of a stairway with an increase height of the risers doesn't get your attention, think of your experience on a cruise ship and the entrance to the bathroom. Every bathroom door on a cruise ship has a raised sill or threshold of 3-4" to keep water inside the room in the event of an overflow. I defy anyone of our age to tell me they didn't stub their toe when using the bathroom on a ship, particularly in the middle of the night.
