I'm not a safety freak, but having some safety device to prevent the passenger from being thrown from the cart seems a prudent measure...

Not trying to come off as a jerk, but why did you abruptly change directions?
If I see that I am about to miss the turn I was looking for it is no big deal to turn around somewhere and go back.
I do agree that if a person wants to have a seatbelt they should have them installed.
I put one in my motorcycle sidecar for when I had a child ride in it and it also kept them seated. Was it a requirement? No, but I wanted it so I put one in.
Keeping them as optional for golf carts is the way to go.
