Default Rhino Rollover

Ok, here it is, this is what I emailed the PI;

Ok, I don’t understand your website quite clearly?? Why don’t you do one for the Jeep with no doors?? Also, the motorcycles on the street?? They don’t have any leg protection?? Hey, while you’re at it, just band all ATV and Motorcycles’, that will cause a big stink on your hands wont it, oh and it might get you famous.

I just don’t like how your picking on the Rhino? I have one and if you use it for what it’s MADE for then it will be ok, you get the STUPID people out there that want to stick their leg out while rolling over a Jeep or hey a Rhino then you have a broken leg. I bet if you stick your leg out riding a motorcycle down the street and let the on coming cars hit it a few times that will break it as well.

Come on, get a life and go on and enjoy it like the rest of us.

Think you need to pay him a visit and show him how to drive a rhino.

Ok i don't own a Rhino"YET" trading the grizz for one in the spring. I don't think i'll have the problem of sticking my foot out incase of a rollover as i have an artificial leg(so no worries there) but if ppl are so worried about it buy or build sum half doors for it easy fix [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] plain and simple......Wader

Or at the very least, help him to understand that this kind of activity has its dangers. There are dangers in off road riding. Any one who isnt ready to acept that fact should not be participating in such activities.

Lawyers like this are already salivating:

Might as well add all golf carts too as they are prone to tipping as well. I have seen it done several times. There are a couple of places that offer bars that keep the legs in.

The larger problem is using a product in an improper or dangerous way. I have seen Rhino's jumped and duned and in those activities, if somthing were to go wrong, an arguement could be made as this was probably outside the scope of normal use. That would be like the idiot that takes his Quad on a trail he knows is too narrow, busts a tree and sue's because the quad was too wide to go through that particualar spot.
There should be a provision that if you file a lawsuit because you lack the proper common sense, then the defendants have the oppertunity to seek damages from the Plaintiff.

That being said, if a injury occurs within the normal realm of specified use, then a case could be made. Biggest thing is that we engage in aggressive and dangerous activities, we are bound to get hurt. Can't blame others for that...

I have no problem with that, but better still would be some type of half door like Jeeps have. I know there are a couple of companies that make safety bars that block your foot from stepping out in a roll over situation. Perhaps the next gen Rhino's will address this.
