She was driving the cart with her instructor on board. The instructor directed her to make a u-turn and allowed her to back the cart up a dirt hill. While ascending the hill, the cart rolled onto the driver's side and pinned Employee #1's legs under it. She was hospitalized for torn ligaments in her left knee. Both the cart owner's manual and the manufacturer's training list contained the warning "The Beverage Cart MUST be kept on the cart path at all times. Beverage Cart tires must be on pavement".
