Oops!

A golf cart rigged to simulate the dangers of tipsy motoring went out of control at a New Jersey police fair and struck five people — landing them all in a hospital, authorities said Wednesday.

A teenager was behind the wheel with a cop sitting shotgun Tuesday evening when the cart swerved off its special orange-coned course at the National Night Out event in Wildwood on the Jersey shore, according to police.

The off-the-rails vehicle plowed into four adults and a child —  prompting firefighters who were already there to rush to their aide, the Wildwood Police Department said in a press release.

And no one stopped to think that maybe this was ... a bad idea? Two of the five are apparently still in the hospital. 

Wanna bet that the insurance carrier covering this event insists on ending this particular demonstration in the future?
