An old fart did this. It's not staged.

If that's the case, then he's probably senile and or has dementia and should've never been allowed on the course in the first place.

No apparent damage to the cart

No apparent damage to the bridge.

No scraping of even the dirt and grime on the wheels or underside of the cart.

No old guy laying by the side of the cart. <---Seals the deal for me 🙂

 

 

Off to ebay to buy a Scotty Cameron tour only limited edition putter from a guy in China for $149.99!

 

(OP.. methinks perhaps thy friend hast been pranked!)

Probably on dope. 

 

 

OK, Mr. Hand.

I have seen some weird situations with carts over the last couple years, but i gotta

agree with others that this one looks staged.  If it is real,i bet someone took a few minutes 

to get calmed down ! No one hurt, and no damage to the cart or the bridge.  Luck can be strange

sometimes.

I've flipped one on its side.  Bald tires, steep path with turn at bottom and pavement was wet.

I've been passenger when one was sunk in mud up to the axles.  Guy thought he could just swing in there and pick up his ball.

I've nearly driven one into a trap.  Low angle sun and fairway bunker cut below the fairway level between me and the path.

 

When we were young and dumb we would dump them into neutral on a steep hill and coast them out into the fairway and do donuts on the wet grass.  After flipping that one while actually being very cautious, I don't do that crap anymore.  I don't really want to be sore for a month from wrecking a cart.

I've only seen one accident, it was this year at the beginning of the season. They were drunk, me in my orange shirt strolling over.

Looks like that bridge just jumped out in front of him!  Geez 🤣

I played White Witch in Jamaica while I was on my Honeymoon. The group in front of us didnt' take a forecaddie and never played the course. It rained during the round enough to slick the cart paths. We came around 16 or 17th green on to the next tee box to see the cart in front of us tipped on it side halfway off the path. Apparently the cart landed on the ladies wrist and snapped it.  Worst cart wreck I've seen.

 

My buddy tried to avoid a speed bump once going down hill and went wide left...hit a boulder set there to stop you from going off a cliff. it snapped the suspension on the front driver side tire. The course made him pay like $350 for the fix.  I hated the course anyways, so had an excuse never to go back after that.

I've done this, completely by accident.  Hit the right wheel on a cart absolutely 100% flush into a tree trunk.  Broke the linkage and gave my cart that same splay-footed stance.  Didn't deflate the tire though.  😄

I was a passenger in a flipped cart 20 some years ago (poor skill behind the wheel on a big hill). Scared the s*** out of me and I drive carts like a grandma ever since.

Damn!!!
 

Mine wasn’t like that, but it was still a stupid mistake. Partner was driving, cart in woods looking for my ball (of course.) He jumps out to grab club and go to his ball in fairway (of course.) I stay in passenger seat (dumb), reach over and grab wheel while stepping on the accelerator. Expected the cart to jump forward. Nope! Wheel was turned 45 degrees right, cart jumps right and 💥 right wheel 💥 square into the tree trunk. 
 

Alcohol was NOT involved.

A man at our club died as the result of a golf cart accident.  He had his young granddaughter sitting on his lap while driving down a steep hill.  She attempted to turn to the right causing the cart tip over.  He was crushed by the steering wheel.  He died a few days later at the hospital.  HIs granddaughter and grandson weren't injured thankfully.  

 

Ironically, the only accident I've ever seen was at a public safety tournament.  A drunk paramedic ran into a curb and tipped the cart over.  The roof railing landed on his head.  He didn't finish the round. 😉

Not me or in my group, but a buddy who works at a golf course sent me this. No injuries, but pretty incredible the cart ended up like this:

 

Good thing I got what was left of my beer and got outta there before the picture was taken.

What a great read. Have only seen the occasional cart that has rolled into the water.

This is what a golf cart should look like when it smashes into an immovable object.
