Rolled the golf cart ?
I have operated golf carts many times, especially during some of those wild golf outtings where they serve beer by the gallon. The only time I have ever seen a golf cart even come close to being rolled over was when there was excessive speed for the conditions.

I hope this little girl will be okay and I'm sure this will stay with her father for a long time.

Sounds like FW needs to put some govenors on their carts and also enforce traffic rules in that park.

A lifted golf cart is very susceptible to rolling. The center of gravity is much higher and it can be very dangerous.

Since it was a privately owned golf cart and not one of FW, there would be no controlling the speed of the cart. FW golf cars can't go very fast and since they aren't lifted, they are fairly safe. However, the personal carts are another story.

Lately FW seems to be turning a blind eye to personal golf carts and the rules regarding them. We were there recently and saw young kids driving them, drunks cruising around and severly overloaded carts with 8 people on a 4 person cart.

Disney needs to tighten up the rules before someone gets killed. They had a near miss over Halloween so maybe they will open their eyes.

Leave the golf cart at the rental shop, save some money, and get some exercise. There are enough buses running that if you need to get to the other end of FW you can take one of them.

Are you kidding? I think its somewhere between 60 and 70 percent of americans are overweight.I do agree with you but most people are to fat and out of shape to walk.
