Recently, I learned of a group known as the Villages Flying Golf Carts. They perform stunts weaving in and around each other on public streets. Today, a video was posted on TikTok clearly shows this group involved in a severe crash where one cart zigged and it should have zagged. There are now several posters questioning why a group of retired, senior citizens are allowed to perform these "stunts" on public streets or anywhere else for that matter. Some comments include this group is the same as street racers and should be arrested. These are NOT professionals and they are not driving highly equipped sportscars.

I think reckless driving of golf carts probably is illegal,

Is enforcement of whatever misdemeanors the daredevils are guilty of a public safety priority? A different question.

Watch out for those cart gangs. You can tell how bad and mean they are by the colors of their loofahs. Don’t mess with them.

Villages Flying Golf Carts.

At what height do these golf carts fly at?

Hopefully they learned their lesson and they are done.

Can’t believe I wasted the lone minute reading this nonsense.

While I think the cart group itself is silly, I feel OP and the “other posters” referenced are grasping and looking for things to complain about.

Next thing they’ll want to outlaw are driveway parties since they block the roads.

This concern coming from a “Top Gun” LOL……

I worry a lot more about encountering drunks and dope-heads driving around on the roads at all times of the day.

The best thing is that on other social media outlets where the clip is posted the outsiders posted how the drunks are out of control in TV. My thoughts is that if those two cart drivers had insurance is the insurance company going to pay out, considering they were knowingly engaging in dangerous activity ?

I was surprised to see that a group organized to perform stunts doesn't require their performers to wear seatbelts. (or maybe they do and the driver who flew through the windshield simply forgot)

EDIT: As has been pointed out, twice as of Friday morning, the driver was thrown out of the side of the cart, not through the windshield. I believe the point of the post is still valid regardless of the path the body took as it was ejected from the cart during the stunt.

It’s amazing what people will do so they can put crap out on social media?

I have to think pretty hard to find a stupider pastime for old people than "flying golf carts"...actually more appropriately named "flying golf cart drivers"....

[Topspinmo]

I thought this was going to be about speeding golfers in their golf carts?

Nothing new here. There has been a group of Villagers in golf carts performing in parades and such for at least 15 years in The Villages. Perhaps it’s a new group or same group calling themselves “the Flying Carts”. I like their tenacity - go active seniors!
