A Rhino is unsafe under these conditions....

1) An inexperienced (unsafe) driver is the pilot. Anytime someone embarks on somthing new, makes them a legitimate if not unwitting threat to themselves and those around them. It's not a slam, it's called a learning curve.

2) Experienced Rider driving in an unsafe manner. There are those that have skills but lack the common sense to keep themselves out of trouble.

3) Anytime a rider is pushing the top speed limits of the Rhino can become unsafe real quick.

4) Unsafe driving conditions and or terrain.

Are these things supplied by or endorsed by Yamaha??? Come on!!

Any of these, and more likely, combinations of these lead to 99% of Rhino/Ranger/Prowler/Golf Cart/Mule injuries.

If an unsafe or inexperienced driver, drives at unsafe speeds in unsafe conditions or terrain, how is Yamaha at fault.

Using that logic, Schwinn owes me a lot of money for pain and suffering.

Why do ATV's have stickers that tell us to not speed, do stunts, keep all 4 on the ground etc.

We are responsible for our safety. If a part fails that leads to an accident or injury, you then take it up with Yamaha or whoever.

Default Rhino Rollover

I guessed I kicked the beehive.

I need to sue Budweiser beuause if I wouldn't have had that beer (sitting in front of my computer, "Not" in my Rhino!) I might not have typed what I did on page 3.


It sucks that anyone has gotten hurt on a Rhino. Just looking at the Rhino at the dealer I knew it could or one day will rollover. Some of the bigger ATVs are as big as a small jeep and when it rolls over its going to crush you. And it has! "I am" sorry if you don't like some of the things I wrote. Its just how I see it! (I don't always use tact) Just as I won't jump out of a perfectly good airplane that is going to land anyway, one would hope. (I hope you don't smoke) If you smoke, you are stupid enough to die from it. I am sorry if this caused anyone pain. Its just how I see it.

Default Rhino Rollover

I am a Rhino owner with concerns about rollover safety. I have several friends who have broken arms and legs!
To decrease the chances of injuries I have designed and manufactured side roll cage safety nets (patent pending), similar to NASCAR window nets.
The bottom half is a solid nylon ( mine is realtree camo to mach my Rhino), and the top half is an open mesh netting.
