    Man dies in ATV accident

     

    From The Towanda Daily Review:

    "A fatal crash occurred in Fox Township, Sullivan County, at 2:12 a.m. on Sunday when Christopher Robinson, 25, of Toughkenamon, was driving an ATV east on Picnic Ground Road, according to state police.

     
    Robinson exited a right-hand curve, left the north berm of the road and struck a tree, police stated.

    Police stated that Robinson, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by Wendy Hastings, the Sullivan County coroner."

    ***This is similar to my rantings of wearing seat belts.  Wearing a helmet while driving an ATV (all terrain vehicle) is such a simple act that might save your life.  Riding ATV's can be very dangerous in and of themselves.  But, some, like the Yamaha Rhino, are actually defectively designed and are dangerous. 

    The Yamaha Rhino is excessively prone to roll over during turns even at low speeds because of inherent flaws in its design. Yamaha has been aware for years of serious injuries and deaths of drivers and passengers in rollover accidents, but have yet to modify the Rhino's design to correct for its stability problems.
