If you're having trouble finding a sense of humor, I think you can get a replacement at Walmart for $19.98

Agree with you on the foot... Knowing what damage could occur, I'd never do it and I caution others riding with me to refrain from doing it...

But that's not the same thing as a knee poking 6" outside a cart......

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it would be about hurricane Elsa. Looks like it might go right thru TV.

I hang my knee or foot out from time to time to get comfortable. 99% of the paths are plenty wide enough. On the few narrow areas I make sure the knee is in.

Your knee, is probably going to be just fine...

Your foot, otoh, can be snagged by debris...

I still remember a man talking about the rules etc. of The Villages at the Newcomer's meeting we attended. He emphasised the folks should NOT let their legs or feet hang out as we'd be surprised how many accidents happen that way.

Well from my observation over a few years when the gut is so big that it barely fits behind the steering wheel then in order to get that right foot to the gas and brake pedal the left knee has to go somewhere

Default I love that term "man spreading"

Now if only Sharon Stone would have that problem.

Speaking of “manspreading”…Gentlemen if you are going to “spread” please don’t wear loose, baggy shorts! Please be aware that anyone sitting opposite you can have full view of some of your very unpleasant body real estate in the crotchilar area. Baggy shorts and manspreading really do not go well together. Thank you in advance.

Default Worse than knees hanging out.

It would be good if the drivers and passengers of golf carts would keep their knees together and inside the golf carts if you know what I mean.
