Like BB said, you can't fix stupid. It's not the design of the vehicle its the operator. Anyone can go out and buy one of these high performance SXS and go out and haul ass across the desert, with no training and no knowledge of how to operate it and where, then they get hurt and sue the manufacturer, the BLM, etc. what is needed is training. Just like the ATV issue from a few years ago
There seems to be a consistent theme that all ATV/UTV accidents are based on stupidity (you can't fix stupid yada yada yada). Well, I might agree that the lion share of accidents can be prevented, but evaluating and correcting flaws in design have their place as well. Many folks go out to have a great time and sometimes accidents do happen. I'm OK with a third party poking their nose in and chiming in on my family's safety. A little check and balance doesn't hurt.
I agree with you to an extent. If tie rod ends, ball joints, suspension components and brakes are failing due to poor design or lack of quality parts have at it!
In this case, I'm going to assume they will want to limit steering turn radius to prevent rollover at what ever speed they decide is safe.
That's fine and dandy until your climbing a steep hill and find out you are unable to navigate a sharp turn. Put it in reverse throw in a couple rocks or soft terrain to make a three point turn and down you go in cartwheeled fashion.
Not such a good idea then.
The 2015 Polaris have ignition interlock to prevent starting until buckled up. Ofcourse someboby figures out how to bypass system posts it on the web and everyone fixes it so it doesn't work.
