<P> Some of the main causes of injury related to golf cart accidents included cart overturn, falling / jumping from a moving golf cart, collision with another vehicle or stationary object, struck / run over by a cart, getting into or out of a cart . Out of all these, "falling or jumping from a golf cart" was the most common cause of injury for both adults and children . </P> <P> One contributing reason is that current golf cart safety features are insufficient to prevent passenger falls or ejection . Golf carts moving at speeds as low as 11 miles per hour (18 km / h) could readily eject a passenger during a turn . Furthermore, rear - facing golf cart seats are associated with high rates of passenger ejection, and most golf carts do not have brakes on all four wheels (typically brakes are only on the rear axle wheels, thus extremely limiting their braking power). </P> <P> Golf cart injuries are also commonly found in desert areas (i.e. Johnson Valley). Driving golf carts on dirt trails, along drop off cliffs, down rocky trails that should only be traversed using 4 - wheel - drive vehicles, can all lead to injuries . </P>
