So I always put my power carts in front of me (the side where the front of my body would be) as opposed to at my back or behind me, or of course between me and the target. That said, strange things happen - machines are gonna take over the world - haven't you seen all the movies! Anyway, my point was not so much your accident specifically, but since it happened to you it could (I presume) happen to anyone. And, if that's correct then some sort of safety feature would seem to complete the package. I agree that it's unlikely to be an issue but there are a lot of dopes out there (read Darwin winners).
That question has been brought up and feedback has been noted. At the moment, the red button on the remote is the emergency stop button so to speak. When you do hit it, it does go full stop really quickly. For it to have a true emergency uh oh stop for either hitting a person, object, or going into a bunker, it would need to have some sort of way to tell there’s been an impact or a major drop off. That’s a bit tricky to do? How’s the cart going to differentiate between a concrete curb and the low side of a bunker lip? A curb drop and it hits the brakes, you might slam into the handle if you’re not paying attention or you don’t think it’s going to stop because of that. Make sense?
