i rolled the rhino at windrock sunday. all driver error. i got carried away and was ripping around in 2-wheel drive climbing a series of hills when i slipped off into a rut, gave it some more gas to power out and well the rest was history..... nobody was hurt, and as soon as we turned HER back up on the ground of course we hit it again and made the climb.

I did my roll last Sunday. Lucky enough to walk away from it. Check it out on youtube.com searching yamaha rhino rollover. I must say that the leg minders saved my friends legs. He tried to get out before rolling to catch us but they prevented him from doing so. I also noticed they roll more on the front bumper and cage than they do square on a four-seat cage.

I bought a 2007 660 camo in Jan. and tipped it over on its passenger side before it was broke in.  The road was washed out at the base of the mountain where an arroyo passed. I went down the steep side of the arroyo over some two-foot diameter well-rounded rocks, which seemed to be the hard part of the arroyo crossing.  I got down that with only a few scrapes, but as I started up the other side is when it tipped over.  It was fun and all but when the top of the roll cage hit the rock it was loud and it jolted me more than I thought it would.  I was trying to get out but the tension from my weight on the seat belt was making it hard to release the belt.  Granted I was climbing the hill at about 45 deg. instead of going straight up, it rolled before I though it would.  In a split second, when we started tipping, I saw my brother sticking his leg out and I yelled, "look out!"  I'm glad he listened to me and pulled his leg back in.  About a month later, I tipped it on driver side while attempting to do a donut on flat ground.  Rhinos don't do donuts!  I was 90 degrees over on the driver side after a 360 deg spin.  Now that I got my wild hair out of the way, and use it for 80 percent work and 20 percent play.  I have to say, it's the best tool around the farm besides my old John Deere tractor.  After testing out passenger and driver side rollovers, I conclude that sitting in the side going up is more of a ride than sitting in the side lying on the ground.

For one you need the leg minders to keep them legs in. Another suggestion is get rid of those cheap seat belts and get some 4 point harness"s. They save me and my daughter on our roll over. Those stock belts are JUNK!!!!

The stock seatbelts might hold if under 200 pounds. When I rolled mine two full rolls from a dead stop my passenger seat belt "blew apart" under stress. Five points are the way to go. Attach a 12" x 3/4" x 1/8" steel under the front seat and base for the perfect fifth point attachment. Also note that when they roll it is on the front of the roll bar and front bumper.
