Here's what I think of that: I've been reading about serious golf cart injuries over the past three years on this site and the overwhelming majority are where someone has been thrown out of the cart. I can only remember 1 roll over where there was serious injury.

Give me belts!

These are real world results that we read about in our hometown. If you have real world examples of roll over where people are crushed I'd like to see it.


Remember this: This is the same type of government crap from the same type of people that don't mandate seat belts in school buses!
