Yes, people have been killed in golf carts.
Yesterday my golfing buddy told me he was passed in the tunnel going to Laurel Manor. Sure enough the passer crashed head on into a cart entering the tunnel. That's a new one to me, passing in tunnels. Safe in a golf cart -no. I see many accidents never reported.
When I first came here about 7 years ago we had a head on between two carts in front of Palmer on the curve with a death and serious injuries Another one was two ladies who went over the bridge 441 and their cart hit a rough patch, cart turned over and one lady died.
One where the cart was doing about 32 and hit on the curbing where the path was dividing and the guy was killed.
I can be driving at max at 19.5 and have carts past me like I'm standing still.
And for all you saying its so safe, you're safe right up until you have your first accident.
