don't agree with you there. they're lightweight, have a lot of torque, and really don't have a low center of gravity. They will flip or roll faily easily. You just gotta know what to do when it happens, basically not get stuck under it. I've only rolled my Utility once. I was able to jump off, but went down a 6 foot drop. Luckily I just got a bruise. I have seen people hurt though. My cousin started to go up this pile of asphault, it was steep, and loose. He got about 12 foot up it, and he decided it was too steep, so he was gonna just clutch it and roll back, but he slipped on the clutch, so the back tires just dug right in. He couldn't go no where, so he just held on. The four wheeler landed right on top of him, his eyebrow went right into the brake resovoir. Cut him good. He even got some chunks of asphault stuck in his forehead.

They only get real dangerous if you get crazy, but aint danger part of the fun? rock:
