I pray that everyone involved were OK, but the accidents looked awful to us. It has us wondering how often are there accidents around the villages, "car vs golf cart" or "golf cart vs golf cart"? It really showed us how dangerous riding in the cart can be.
We saw someone else driving with another adult and two children in the cart -all in the front seat. All we kept thinking was what would have happened if they were involved in a similiar accident........

Unfortunately, oot, we really do not have an answer to your question "It has us wondering how often are there accidents around the villages". The Villages Daily does not seem keen on reporting them. The fact that you witnessed two of them on consecutive days during your short visit concerns me as it did you. I hope your post here brings out some replies of other cart accidents.
I am personally aware of so few my guess is it is not a major problem.
To quote Madison Avenue, you have "run it up the flag pole now let's see who salutes".
