Jim, who responded to the "Over 200 cases filed for rhino rollover injuries and deaths" said it best. Sue also responded to the same coment, I DISAGREE WITH YOUR OPINION. You talk about all atvs and motorcycles. Yes deadly accidents do happen, but what about vehicles and bicycles and air planes and all of the other death causing circumstances. Should we make all that stuff illegal as well. I am totaly pro life, but as Jim said the operators should take the responsibity for their actions. I own a 2007 Rhino and love it very much. Yes they are dangerous and I have rolled mine. But every time I rolled it I was operating it beyond its limits as I am sure that a lot of the lawsuits that are filed if a deep and true investigation is done probably 99% of them will find that the root cause is operator error. If the operator respects the machine and knows its limitations just as a car they should not have any problems. Even with a car you don't go 90 mph through sharp 'S' curves. I'm sure if you try it you will end up wrecking. The bottom line is this, In todays world every one is sue happy. Here is a good example, some one sued McDonalds for coffee being too hot and they burned themselves with it. There are risks in every thing we do. With the Rhino if you buy it you know there are risks of rolling over that come with it.
