Default Rhino Rollover

I guess I wouldn't let them ride my bicycle either. Could be the manufacture didn't make it safe enough. You know rollbars with SFI tested padding and a balancing gyroscope so it wouldn't tip over if you don't put my foot down to catch it when stopped.
I don't like the lawyer adds on the outdoor channel that come on during ATV television. In fact I worte them an email explaining how I disliked it. If I were making decisions on advertising dollars I would't advertise on their channel.
I ride motorcycles, ATC's, ATV's and snowmobiles. After watching some people ride I don't think everyone should ride for their own safety and for those around them.
I'm pretty sure I could roll over anything with wheels on it if I tried, you know doing doughnuts, hill climbing and other stunts including quick lane changes. It would be my fault for not being aware of my limitations and the machines limitations. Not the manufacture of the unit I was in control of.

Default Rhino Rollover

I have posted before about my 10 year old daughter who was a passenger on a Yamaha Rhino, driven by an adult on FLAT ground. The Rhino tipped over killing my daughter.

Many have said Rhinos just do not tip over on FLAT ground going at a moderate speed.

Many have said a Rhino is not intended for recreational use.

Many have said Yamaha has not been aware that they tip over.

Many have said they had doors put on for safety.

Here is my website with the results of my research. On it I will prove that Yamaha HAS know for YEARS they tip over, I will show you warnings and complaints from customers (on Yamaha's OWN letterhead) of them tipping over. A list of 150 lawsuits against Yamaha (on their OWN document). Their OWN advertisement, showing they ARE for recreational use (and high performance). Their OWN advertisement stating the purpose of the doors (not safety). And the US governments own investigation. No where could I find anything like this about any other brand side by side. My opinion is the problem is not with the side by side itself or the driver, but the way Yamaha made the Rhino.
