A lot of carts have a 3rd (fancy) party seat installed. Most of those seats offer arm rests that swing up. Without that armrest in the down position, it is very easy for the passenger to fall out of the cart. I almost did but the driver grabbed my leg to help me regain my seat position and this happened at slow speed on the golf course. A friend of mine had his wife fall out of their cart also on the golf course, she broke here leg in the fall. Both of these incidents were caused by the arm rest being in the up position.
