I hate to use the word stupid because I wasn’t there and don’t know the details that precipitated the event. However, in this case I’ll make an exception. Damn, that’s stupid.

Why wouldn't a Good Samaritan tie on and pull them with their golf cart?

I am reasonably sure that just before that happened, the following words were spoken, "Hold my beer and watch this $*it."

The person with the broken down cart is cheap, cheap, cheap and both the driver of the pulling cart and the numnut being the tow rope have no common sense.

Speaking of Darwin awards. When I was about 15 guy had 55 ford automatic. Thing wouldn't start and someone suggested three of us sit back of the trunk put our feet out for push start. Sounds good right? Well, anybody that pushed started automatic back them knows it took about 20 to 30 mph to get the transmission converter enough pressure to turn the engine over. When it kicked off the guy floor boarded it. As it left the push car we sudden had nothing to keep us separated. Luckily this car had duel antenna's and and crome trim to clench on our we would of slide off the heavily waxed trunk at about 40 plus mph. Maybe this was teen age buddy that didn't learn darn thing?

Don't know how I survived as a teenager but it certainly taught me smart from stupid. I suppose the human tow rope was thinking out of the box anyway.
