As a peninsula bracketed by the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, Florida signifies fun in the sun on its white, sandy beaches. But Florida's interior terrain also is both inviting and challenging, especially for enthusiasts of ATVs, or all terrain vehicles, such as the popular Yamaha Rhino ATV. Florida has special trails and tracks for just such a purpose as thrill-riding on an ATV. ATV enthusiasts can ride on unnumbered roads and on travelways in various forests, such as Big Cypress National Preserve and Ocala National Forest. But regardless of where ATVs are ridden, these vehicles, particularly a Yamaha Rhino ATV, can be extremely dangerous. Yamaha Rhino and other ATV accidents riseThe Consumer Project Safety Commission (CPSC) has found that ATV accidents have increased by about 66 per cent in the past five years. The CPSC also projects that as many as 700 persons will lose their life in an ATV accident this year, and about 135,000 persons will be injured in an ATV accident, many of them seriously.One of the most common and dangerous ATV accidents is a rollover, and the Yamaha Rhino ATV is highly prone to such rollover accidents. These often occur as a result of manufacturing design flaws which make the Yamaha Rhino ATV inherently unsafe. Such flaws include narrow tires, a narrow wheel base, a powerful motor and a top-heavy design. These elements make a Yamaha Rhino ATV likely to tip or roll over, even when traveling on a flat surface, and even when traveling at speeds as low as 15 miles per hour. Imagine how much worse such rollover accidents can be when the Yamaha Rhino is driven over the uneven, challenging, "all terrain" surfaces for which it's named. Whether it's being driven down a steep hill, over a rocky road or along a muddy ditch, the Yamaha Rhino has a very high likelihood of tipping or rolling over. Also, some Yamaha Rhino ATVs lack doors, handlebars or roofs, which makes these accidents even more dangerous for an occupant.
