Just wonder who in TV will come out with a cart with real "safety" in mind? Unfortunately, it pretty much took GOVERNMENT to make our cars safer. Hey, we mostly "bad mouth" our Government but sometimes they do something right!

Well, I can get my bicycle up to 25mph and routinely ride at 17-18 mph. Maybe we need some government intervention to ban bicycles. How about motorcycles? Do we need seat belts on those? I would like to see the same muffler requirements on motorcycles as cars. Some riders are so annoying revving up their engine all the time and running straight pipes or extra loud exhaust.
The point is however that we can't make everything super safe and often the cost of doing such things is huge. I think that the answer to golf cart safety is personal responsibility not some government problem. The way the government should get involved is by enforcing the existing laws.
