Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., Statement on Holt vs Yamaha

CYPRESS, Calif. – July 27, 2010 – The jury’s decision in Orange County, California, to reject the plaintiff’s claims and award no damages in this case is appropriate.  The jury made a decision based on the facts.  The testimony and evidence during the trial showed that this unfortunate incident had nothing to do with the design of the product.

Yamaha is saddened whenever anyone is injured in an accident involving a Yamaha product.  This incident underscores the importance of following 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.  Drivers and passengers should wear helmets, protective gear including over-the-ankle foot wear, and the vehicle’s three-point seat belts at all times, and never drive a Rhino when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The Rhino is a safe and useful off-road vehicle that has won virtually every “first in class” award and top safety ratings in independent reviews since its introduction. 
“Yamaha stands firmly behind the Rhino and will continue to vigorously defend the product.  To learn more about the Yamaha Rhino, visit our website www.truthaboutrhino.com“, Van Holmes, Public Relations Manager, ATV & SxS Department, Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A.
