Am I the only person at Oshkosh without wheels?

If there were really a problem something would be done.


Sometimes it's not a "problem" until somebody gets hurt, and all of a
sudden "legal" has to get involved.

I volunteer in a medical capacity with one of the largest and richest
rodeos in the world, and the "golf cart" problem was unchecked until
last year (when, you guessed it.. someone got run over). This years
show, there were "no cart zones" and designated "cart paths that were
explicitly designed to separate the carts from the people. Violators
were considered to have been warned during orientation and cart
operators had their priveledges yanked on first offense. We had signs up
of all the affected areas in ALL the committee workspaces and on flyers
inside every vehicle. The officers and other big wigs were not exempt.

For an event this size, there should be "cart runs" that are separate
from the people.. or separate from non wheeled vehicles. These paths
should be made with minimal disruption of the flow of the show, and
should be on the "back" side of things wherever possible. I know that is
a tad more difficult at OSH due to the layout, but it can be done.. We
are talking about a path that is the wingspan of one plane.. less than
one parking space per row of planes.

The only vehicles that have a reason to go INTO the crowd are medical
and law enforcement. Everyone else should be given a path AROUND the crowd.
