Golf carts are a popular mode of pastime on the golf course and course in Georgia. Although golf carts can be fun, they are also prone to rollover accidents that can result in the severe head trauma. Golf carts can represent a significant risk of serious violations, whether you enjoy a private community summer sun or leisure attempt in a relaxing round of golf, tool making.

A new study by researchers at the Georgia Health Sciences University in Augusta conducted found that the system of golf cart accidents 68 treated injury victims.

The injuries suffered tends to be data seriously in the golf car accidents. The study showed that 66 percent of accidents with golf carts led head injuries including loss of consciousness, skull fractures, or bleeding. The largest number of golf cart injury accidents resulted from vehicle of ejections (26 patients) and rollover accidents (26 patients). The balance of the injuries in the motor vehicle crashes (13 patients) and collisions with stationary objects (3 patients) occurred.

It is hardly surprising that driving under influence of alcohol a factor in most golf cart accidents was essential. Nearly two-thirds of all golf cart accidents, that required trips to the emergency room patients over 16 years of age was accidents alcohol-related. Said "provide the most surprising were the large number of drivers, who drank enough alcohol to judgment and affect their assertiveness, traveling on roads, resulted in collisions with motor vehicles,", study leader Dr. Brian McKinnon, an Assistant Professor of Otology and Neurootology at the Georgia Health Science University.

Many golf carts either lack basic safety equipment or have been modified so that they are dangerous and only vaguely similar to a golf cart. The most golf carts are missing safety belts, and have no roll cage, although its narrow wheelbase makes it prone to rollover accidents. Next, some golf cart type vehicles (often called "Street carts") should move at rates of speed, comparable with a normal car and are even street legal. This potential design, the shortcomings often of changes made by custom golf cart shops, composed lift kits golf carts, so that they even more unstable and prone to rollover accidents.

The researchers point out the lack of safety equipment parts for golf carts. Those almost never use the golf carts helmets carry no doors, before head injuries to protect and the wagons roll CAGES, cages, airbags or belts. The lack of unsafe shop change of road carts and golf carts, safety equipment and broken design is even more tragic because sixty percent of the emergency room were patients in the most recent golf cart injury study under the age of nine.
