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.
Doc: You are spot on. It would benefit us all ( as a teachable moment) if we were presented with the facts/causes related to this accident. Anything else here is a waste of breath.
