Unsafe Vehicle

My husband told me once that vehicles, be it sedan, SUV, truck, or the like, is an extension on one's personality. So the choice that we make on the kind of vehicle that we purchase indeed iin some way reflects us as a person.

I see alot of riders all over California on their cool vehicles. They look really good with their outfits and their sweet-looking vehicles. But its not all about looking good. Safety is of utmost importance.

Yamaha has recently recalled more of its Rhino Side by Side (SxS) ATV vehicles because of rollover risk. The Yamaha Rhino Rollovers have caused serious injuries to numerous riders which has prompted lawsuits. Common injuries include broken legs (tibia), broken arms, and devastating head and spinal cord injuries. The Rhino's propensity to roll over has been blamed on it's high center of gravity and narrow wheel base. Many Rhinos did not come with doors on the passenger compartment, 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.

This is a saddening case. If you are victim, seek help.
