The Yamaha Rhino has been under investigation by the Consumer Products and Safety Commission (CPSC) since November 2008. The investigate of the Yamaha ATVs is due to the increased likelihood that the Rhinos will rollover resulting in serious injury and death to the drivers and occupants. At least 46 deaths have been reported to the CPSC.
The Rhino is more dangerous than other ATVs because it is top heavy and has extremely narrow tires making it more prone to rollover. These design defects make it more likely to rollover even when the vehicle is travelling slowly and is on a flat surface. In addition, passengers are at an added risk for leg crush injuries because their legs are unprotected in event of a rollover accident.
The most common injuries involved in Rhino Rollover accidents are:
- Crushed legs or feet
- Broken legs or arms
- Amputation
- Death
