my sister wrecked pretty bad on ours, but she agrees that she was messin around and rolled it. I think this sue craze against the rhino is a bunch of bull. we had over 200k in hospital bills but we didnt go after yamaha cause its not there fault. the rhino is just as dangerous and top heavy as all the other side by sides and you can get hurt just as easy as riding an atv. my sister and i still ride on the same rhino and ive never felt unsafe while driving cautiously.

yea just another sue happy idiot, it reminds me of the woman burning herself on mcdonalds coffe then sueing, and then the guy who tried to break into some1s house and fell through the roof or something and then he sued the person who he was trying to rob. its just a bunch of crap, a bunch of idiots are always causing crap for us people who like to ride, and they take what they can get away with but it always comes back to get them there just to ignorant to realize that.

Like Remington being sued in the '60s when a kid shot his lawyer father in the back while riding in the back seat, Jeep's CJ5, etc., etc. Welcome to our litigation-happy society. The McD coffee took the cake though. At the end of the day, the lawyers will end up with all the money and we will pay more for our hobby.

i feel the same way, too many lawayers willing to take stupid cases, and too many judges allowing this to go on. but just wondering about the polaris razr, its suppose to be the fastest sidexside. so why no lawsuits there yet? in general speed usually makes people do stupid things

It's like 50 inches wide.The rhino is more like a golf cart and from my experience golf carts are very tippy.Had 2 golf carts before I got the quad.

Fast acceleration + small wheel base = quick rollover. I think it would be wise of Yama engineers to build a wider wheel base and some doors onto that thing.. maybe even "windows" of some sort.
but then again people are dumb asses and they'll probably still roll them / fall out of them.

Personally I wouldn't ride/drive one of those goofy things. It looks like a golf cart on roids.
