Come on now.. the agressive tone will get us no where with this situation.
But I can tell you these situations are a mere product of society.. and we need to make changes elsewhere.. Its not with ATV manufacturers.. These changes need to be made in ourselves. Do we live,, or do we hide and only wish we lived? When we live, we take risks. thats life.

I dont own one but have driven them. MY friends have them and race them on a motorcross track...and guess what yes they do roll.... at 40mph in a hairpin turn while bumpping fenders....the roll overs I have seen People keep their hands and feet inside the ruv...This is nothing new ...We have been told to keep our hands and feet in from the first day of school if not before....I do a lot of riding and see a lot of stupid people..I have also seen those same people DIE and have their families say that they were good safe riders...(the most recent one was a drunk on a banshee at night with no lights or helmet at top speed into the side of a motorhome...thats safe?)we all need to take responsability for our unsafe behaviour...Ofc was there at the time of my last big crash......handlebars broke at top speed....but I did not sue the bar manufacture...at first I blamed them but came to realize that it was due to me tieing the bike down by the bars weakened them...MY FAULT....injuries were due to unsafe riding....MY FAULT....ball up and be responsable ...

I laid my dirtbike over last weekend, does that mean it has a defect and I should report it to Honda?

Well, maybe they should have been welded on. You may have a case. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, but just got this mental image of a Rhino, with curb feelers. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

"doesn't look like something that would tip going 20 miles in hour "
I just noticed this statement in Alexandria's profile. This is why these things and ATV's in general are dangerous, people assume they're safe and because they have 4 wheels people feel safe when they sit on/in them. I'm sorry you got busted up, I really am, but please quit blaming any manufacturer for you or anyone else getting hurt because of inexperience and knowledge of these machines. You and anyone else who rides these things are responsible for yourself and the machine. 20mph is plenty fast enough to roll these things if you cut it hard enough, they are not low to the ground like a Ferrari. These are intended for off-road use, off-road use means it will sit up high for suspension travel and ground clearance, and it will be narrow to fit between tree's for woods use, this equals "tippiness".
