Did somebody pull the trick where they loosen the cart strap so it falls off the back?

 

I think that was a trick Peyton Manning used on his trainer at Tennessee, except it was a jock strap...

Continuing the theme: I survived three tours in IZ w a very close friend, call sign Moses.

 

Two days home after his last deployment: 4th of July on the Potomac, he slipped on a boat, hit his head and fell into the river. That was that. Incredibly sad.

 

Hug your kids and friends, boys.

 

Whoever's running this whole show really pisses me off sometimes...

So I guess there's some "good" news to this -- it does in fact appear as though it was a complete accident and Elway did nothing wrong.  The dude just fell off the back of the cart and landed on his head.  Still tragic, but no evidence of negligence or foul play.

had Elway fallen on his head, he'd still be as good as new.

Apparently its serious. Life threating injuries to the passenger. Elway was driving. His friend is on life support.

Holy cow. I work at a country club and whip those golf carts life it’s GTA. I will definitely think twice from now on.

ive always said it with guys fighting at bars- sometimes even a minor shove lands with a stumble and fall and all of a sudden it’s a “tua” situation or worse. 
 

those dumb luck moments, like slipping out of a golf cart, turning severely life altering really are a perspective changer. I don’t wildly change my life to prevent every last trip/slip/fall… but there are definitely moments where I catch myself and tighten up behavior more quickly than once upon a time.

Yes, and it’s also one of the reasons I’m not a “worry about the future” kind of guy. You really never know what could happen in the blink of an eye to change your (or a loved one’s) life.

yup - scratch the dumb risky stuff that isn’t even much fun off the list, but still live big with the things that are actually worthwhile.

I used to drive golf carts going up piles of coke dust (not that kind-coal) with the pedal floored working at Tonawanda Coke and never once did anyone fall out or come close, Well maybe close.
