Hey there, if you, your loved ones or your friends own a Yamaha Rhino vehicle, please read on this post. It could save lives. The Yahama Rhino ATV (introduced in 2003 by Yamaha Motor Corporation) has been notorious with a high number of rollover accidents, resulting in deaths and serious injuries. The high incidences of Yamaha Rhino Rollover accidents is caused by serious design flaws in the Yamaha Rhino, where the top is heavy, thus prone to rollover, even at minimum speeds on level ground.
Common injuries suffered as a result of the Rhino rollover include broken legs (tibia), broken arms, and devastating head and spinal cord injuries. Many Rhinos did not come with doors on the passenger compartment, thus when the Rhino rolls, the passenger sticks their leg out to try and balance the vehicle. Unfortunately, the passenger or driver is typically unable to balance the vehicle and it rolls over crushing the driver’s or passenger’s leg.
Let’s take a look at the grim Rhino accident statistics. In 2006 alone, an estimated 555 people – including 100 children – were killed in accidents involving ATVs. Another 146,600 people – more than one quarter of them children – were treated in United States emergency rooms for ATV-related injuries in 2006, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ATVs are deadly! Saddest part is that no license is required and many people let their children ride it. Without fail every year there are deaths that are so totally avoidable. And countless injuries which are likely not widely reported.
