The Bluegrass State of Kentucky isn't completely covered with bluegrass. Rather, the state is ribboned with waterways, caves, parks and farms, and its great outdoors also provides a playground for many enthusiasts of ATVs, or all terrain vehicles. Unfortunately, many riders of those ATVs have been seriously injured or even killed. Since 1982, 367 persons have lost their lives in a Kentucky ATV accident, and thousands have been injured. Such ATV accidents often involve one of the most popular ATV brands, the Yamaha Rhino. Due to manufacturer negligence, those vehicles have been built with inherent design flaws which can lead to crippling injuries and even death.

Yamaha Rhino ATV accidents are commonOne reason Yamaha Rhino ATV accidents are common is that the vehicle is prone to tipping or rolling over -- one of the most dangerous accidents which can happen to a rider or passenger in a vehicle. This propensity is because the Yamaha Rhino is built with narrow tires and a narrow wheelbase and also has a top-heavy design.Narrowness enables owners to transport the off-road vehicle, which can be illegal to drive on public streets, on a pickup truck to ATV tracks, trails or other private property where they can be driven for the fun of it. But that same narrow design can be deadly. With more than seven million ATVs now in use in the United States, the growing number of drivers and vehicles has led to a growing number of major ATV accidents. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that 700 persons will die and another 135,000 persons will be injured in ATV accidents this year. A pervasive ATV problem gets worse"We have a major problem," says Rachel Weintraub, Consumer Federation of America's director of product safety. And CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson calls ATVs "one of the deadliest products" under the CPSC's jurisdiction.Yet ATVs continue to be marketed and sold strictly as fun, entertaining and joy-riding vehicles for persons who want the thrill of bounding and hurtling across rugged terrain. What isn't mentioned in their ads is that these vehicles, particularly the Yamaha Rhino, can be highly dangerous to the health and safety of their drivers and passengers.
