And in the street, drivers are more likely to thump against the pavement or, worse, collide with a car; more than half the incidents tallied in these studies took place off the golf course. Also, carts are getting faster--some go 25 m.p.h. (40 km/h)--but still often lack basic protections like seat belts or side rails...
