Look. Every activity has certain inherent dangers. Many times those dangers increase due to age, physical condition, population density, etc. You wanna ride, by golly you ride! Just be as safe as you can. It's your life. Live it as you like, but be aware. Be VERY aware!
At least with a go-pro their death may not go unpunished, while not much of a comfort for the family, at least there could be a usable pic to present to law enforcement.

In our old neighborhood we had a lovely gentleman who walked with his wife everyday. She had serious dementia, but enjoyed looking at the flowers.

He had a GoPro mounted on the walker. About once a month he would post, on the neighborhood site, pic of a car or cart that acted unsafe near them.

Made some take notice, few knew who was posting the pics, and thought what a good idea.

Sometimes some need to be reminded that a golf cart is not a toy, and the injury you may cause, will hopefully not let you sleep at night.
