Case Summary: Several injuries have been reported while using Yamaha Rhino ATVs. The injuries typically are broken or crushed legs, ankles or feet. Passengers have also broken their arm while trying to break the crash of their rollover. In some cases, the injuries were so severe as to require amputation. Children have been crushed to death in Rhino accidents. In 2006, Yamaha issued safety warnings for its Rhino ATV customers regarding seat belt and helmet precautions. The company also noted that turning too fast increased the risk of tipping the ATVs over and offered an outline of what to do and not to do if your ATV was rolling over. Then, in 2007, Yamaha provided a special offer to its Rhino ATV customers for doors and new passenger handholds. It offered to install these new items to prevent riders from sticking out arms or legs during rollover accidents. The offer was valid to all owners of 2004 to 2007 Yamaha Rhino ATVs. Case Detail: Yamaha Rhino ATVs may contain design defects making the vehicle dangerously unstable. There have been many reports of the ATV rolling over and passengers inside getting seriously injured. |
