ATV - All Terrain Vehicles and the Very Unsafe Yamaha Rhino
April 16, 2008 11:58

When All Terrain Vehicles first debuted on the market many years ago the popularity of these vehicles made them huge sellers. Unfortunately, there was a number of safety issues associated with these problems with these vehicles namely the fact that a number can potentially flip over. One such modern ATV that has proven to be problematic has been the Yamaha Rhino. In fact, while most ATV's have safety problems at fast speeds the Yamaha Rhino has been known to rollover even at relatively low speeds. This makes the Yamaha Rhino one of the most dangerous ATVs on the market and a reason why it is the subject of so many lawsuits.

Yamaha Rhino Recall
April 17, 2008 11:48

It is true that the Yamaha Rhino is known for its excessive rollover risk. But, it is commendable that Yamaha opted to voluntarily pull the Rhino off the market (partially) in the form of a recall. While this is commendable it does not free Yamaha of liability. After all, they released a very dangerous product onto the market. Therefore, Yamaha will surely find itself on the receiving end off a number of lawsuits because it should have shown proper due diligence and realized that the Rhino possessed a severe rollover risk. As such, the pending lawsuits will surely force Yamaha's hand to be more careful in the future.
