Minimal Safety Standards on Golf Carts

An estimated 13,000 people each year will seek medical attention at a hospital emergency department for injuries sustained in a golf cart accident. The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards do not require that golf carts be equipped with safety features such as anti-lock brakes, airbags, or seatbelts. As the result, a very common injury involving golf carts is a passenger falling out of the cart, and very often, it is a young male between the ages of 10-19 that is ejected. Another common mechanism of injury is a rollover. The suspension of a golf cart is not intended to make sharp turns or turns at speed, and an inexperienced or intoxicated driver can easily flip a cart.
