Runaway Cart Hits High School Coach at Cowboys Stadium: As Spring Dekaney High School football coach Willie Amendola was discussing his team's victory over Cibolo Steele High School in the Texas 5A Division II championship Saturday at Cowboys Stadium, a runaway electric cart without a driver zoomed from the end zone and plowed into him and several other people near the midfield star.

That GIF shows an end zone marker or something similar weighing down the gas pedal.

Could make for a decent episode of "Murder, She Wrote", if I could get Angela Lansbury to return a single goddamn phone call.

So why didn't the guy who was hit by the cart and ended up on top of it try to stop it? He just lets himself fall to the ground.

Injured? NFC how to stop the thing? Hearing the guy chasing the cart yell at him, "I got it"?
Mind you, just falling off it doesn't seem very intelligent, but I wouldn't blame him for being rattled at that point.

He didn't have much time to stop it before it reached the end zone. Maybe he panicked.

The wide versions shows the poor sucker trying to catch up with the cart, guessing he has some explaining to do.
