What Not to Do With Your Golf Cart

What is it with golf carts that bring out the stupid in people? Now here in Minnesota we usually blame stupid things on Wisconsin so this latest news story is kind of embarrassing.

Our local fish wrap, the Star Tribune reported that 24-year-old Josh Skattum, ran his golf cart into a tree and impaled himself on a three foot tree branch. Was he drunk after too many beers at the 19th hole? Was he lost on the way home from the course? Did he get into some kind of cart accident? No he was just stupid.

He was returning to his father’s house when the cart ran into a tree and a three foot branch pierced the bottom of the cart and impaled itself in this guy’s knee. Amazingly he had no broken bones.

After the accident, Skattum was quoted as saying “it was something freaky that happened, and I second-guessed some of those decisions.”

Oh really now?
