Go through the OSHA injury and fatality database sometime. Youll be surprised to see how many workers are injured or killed in falls from golf carts.

Having seen FAR too many idiots running around golf courses slamming into trees and rolling into ponds, I myself feel that there is a culture of "It's a golf cart! Time for a third stiff one!"
So, what was the BAC on the people involved? I did not read about this in detail so I do not know. But, knowing how these things go when they involve the wealthy, I am curious if that was even looked into.
