A golf cart is a small vehicle that is usually used to carry golf equipment around the course. However, the rather joyride has also been the cause of accidents. Surprisingly, there are plenty of golf cart accidents that occur each year but there is no particular reason for the same. 

Recently, a dangerous incident took place involving a 15-year-old boy. Thankfully, while the accident appeared to be extremely fatal, the boy has recovered slightly and continues to do better, courtesy of surgery and the efforts of the medical staff.

What makes the carts so dangerous? 

Despite of how it looks, a golf cart can be as dangerous as a car sometimes. The cute-looking vehicle with no doors often has people stick their legs out, even while driving. 

Moreover, golf carts are not the most stable when it comes to going around corners. However, it is manageable at low speeds; but when the speed increases, it becomes tough for carts to remain stable. Meanwhile, they have nothing to hold on to, making it even riskier and dangerous. 

While using a golf cart, remember to remain cautious, and not let negligence cause any damage.
