Well it’s an electric car so their first response will likely be, “Shit, let’s make sure nobody gets electrocuted getting this guy’s body out!”


In most of these glorified slot cars the batteries are in the back. In some they’re in the front. Either the passenger will get a massive amount of dense electrically charged mass slamming into them from behind or they’ll have a massive amount of electrically charged mass breach the firewall (if there is a “firewall”) and slam into them from the front.

Either way, the remaining charge will seek the nearest conductor, possibly through their tender broken little body. Meanwhile, the batteries are likely leaking all kinds of funky toxic substances.

Don’t worry. If the tricked out golf cart trend keeps up I forsee a lot of hospitals setting up semi-hardened outdoor hazmat sites so they don’t endanger others when they transport the odd survivor to the emergency room.
