Sorry to hit a nerve, but facts are facts. Yamaha built the rhino with a small but signifiacant flaw in the front passenger area. There ia not enough restraint for legs( or better put, something to keep the feet in when tipping). Tweo of my boys ridding a Rhino tipped it over on one side. My son,passenger, had his leg crushed because his leg got caught under the weight of the machine. It completely shattered the fibula nd broke the tibia in two places. He has metal plates holding his leg together and screws holding the plates to the bone that was left. Now, I agrre about frivilous law suits, but this isn't frivilous. This is a hazard and yamaha has recognized it in and is fixing it in newer models. NO, we are not suinig anyone, so don't shoot the messnger. But I can tell you fisrt hand about the pain and suffering this has caused my son and the rest of the family that cares about him. He was laid up 9 months trying to heal. He just got back to work as heavy equip operator, but his leg gives him grief every single day.

We all ride at risk. We all get injured,usually from our own fault. But this hazard has cuplability on the manufacturer. A better design could andshould have been made.

That given, I am still buying a Rhino, I fully support Yamaha and I think its the best damn product out there for people like you and me for taking our wives on rides. I wish everyonew had one. ANd are they fast? The can be made that way. I've seen them. You will see more in races in the future. This is an enthusists machine, fully customizable.
