The Californian (Bakersfield, CA), "People injured during Yamaha Rhino rollovers suing company"

Doctors gave Bakersfield resident Dwight Grimes an ugly choice when his Rhino, a vehicle the size of a golf cart with the motor of an all-terrain vehicle, tumbled over on his leg: Amputate the leg or possibly live with excruciating pain and limited mobility. The doctors suggested Grimes amputate. He chose to keep the leg.

Grimes' attorney discovered the Rhino has rolled over onto peoples' legs in numerous occasions while the person was making a turn driving relatively slowly. He believed it must be a pattern and took it to scientists for tests. They discovered the vehicle was prone to roll over during turns at relatively low speeds because it was too narrow, top heavy and the tires were too small, Grimes' lawsuit alleges.
