I've been around toys all my life, and with any product people get hurt. I've owned Rhino's since 2004, and never had one over on it's top. Whatever person thinks they are top heavy is wrong, I've been places few would go with ATV's or Bikes. The problem lies in people & parents not having the training, and IQ to operate the Yamaha Rhino. What person lets a 9 year old ride with no supervision, or safety. Put the blame where it lies, on the lack of sense. Yamaha has stepped up and tried to help riders by door, etc. Do they need to require an IQ test before purchase. Perhaps!! Jim is right.

I've ridden/owned 2 Rhino's. They do not tip tip over at 5 mph. People should put wheel spacers on if you can't handle it. What about motorcycles? They will fall over when you turn. You should not be able to sue if you buy and take ownership, you are responsible. Let's look at ratio's. Percent of vehicles to accidents. We better be suing motorcycles and autos first. If I cut my finger off with a knife, can I sue the knife maker cause it was too sharp and I didn't know how to use it??? You should be able to buy about anything and then you are responsible for how you use it. What about a parent teaching a kid how to ride a bike. He falls off, gets hurt, maybe breaks a wrist. Is that child endangerment? Can they sue the bike maker? Ban bikes?? They are dangerous, especially motorcycles. Where does it end?????? I am sick of people being stupid. If an accident happens, people want compensated for their own ignorance. I think I'll try a unicycle while juggling running chainsaws, cause I'm so cool I know I can do it. If I get hurt somebodies gonna pay. If you buy a Rhino, try it cautiously, and if you feel it's not safe, don't ride it, sell it. Remember people to empty your bullets before cleaning your gun too.

I would hate to see yet another class of vehicles go the way of the 3 wheelers which i have been riding safely without an injury for 6 years. You are a disgrace to the legal profession and give all lawyers everywhere a bad reputation. You make it sound like you'll just be riding an atv down the road and it'll just flip over and kill you for no apparent reason. You don't even acknowledge the fact that every vehicle there is can be driven safely. I ride atvs every day and while I recognize that they can be unsafe i do think they can be driven safely. If I was injured driving one I would admit my personal fault and not blame it on someone else. ya’ll are idiots the yamaha rhino is not inherently unsafe all all collisions and rollovers are caused by driver fault not design.

He is at St Joseph's Hospital in Paterson NJ, his last name is White. I just saw on tv that the rhino's were dangerous, but because he works at the honda dealer and was at work riding one he doesn't want to cause any trouble because workman's comp is paying for everything. but i told him if he pursues the dangers he would be possibly be saving a life later on, he alomost lost his left arm because of the dangers and couldn't finish his last summer class to graduate college.
