Maybe this will help Yamaha along as far as their development of a new sidexside someday - I pulled this from
www.truthaboutrhino.com - looks like they won yet ANOTHER trial. I believe this makes 5 out of 6 trials in favor of Yamaha - this HAS to be good for anyone hoping Yamaha will release something awesome in the future.....
FIFTH JURY VERDICT FOR YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, U.S.A.; JURY IN ALABAMA ONCE AGAIN REJECTS PLAINTIFF’S CLAIMS REGARDING YAMAHA RHINO
Yamaha Statement on McMahon vs Yamaha Decision in Montgomery, AL
CYPRESS, Calif. – OCTOBER 22, 2010 – A jury in Montgomery, Alabama today rejected the plaintiffs’ claims and returned a unanimous defense verdict in McMahon vs Yamaha, a case involving an accident on a Yamaha Rhino. This verdict in favor of Yamaha marks the fifth time that a jury has rejected plaintiffs’ claims regarding the Rhino’s design, finding no defect in the Rhino, and the second in Alabama. In August, a jury in Alexander City, Alabama found for Yamaha in another Rhino trial.
Yamaha is saddened whenever anyone is injured in a Yamaha product-related accident, and we urge all our customers to follow the safety guidelines posted on the Rhino and in the owner’s manual, and to always operate the products in a safe and responsible manner.
