Geeze, just looked on line at the history of RZR fires. Had no idea, but don't think I'd be putting my family in one.  Kind of  a disgusting read.

Not toget off topic but plenty of other SxS out there that don't have these issues.  You just have to know you limitations and yiur operating skill of those machines.  I have been around everything with 2 wheels to 4 wheels from motorcycles to sxs's.  You have to respect them because the moment you don't things can turn very bad.  I can't speak for this incident but I have seen some hairy situations before.

MAGA!  Again..

I just saw a coroners report which stated that all 4 victims burned to death.  What a very sad and tragic accident.  May they all RIP.

Rode over and saw the crash sight the other day. Really was a very sobering scene. It was right in that field in the main camping area. Looks like they went for a quick trip around the track and hit the one jump way too fast. Just a shame probably after riding the technical trails all day long And then get back to the safety of the campground and all goes wrong. Lots of speculation On what may have led to it. There were definitely Coors original cans still laying around in all the burnt debris but who knows that could’ve just been from passengers or past trips. I really think it could also have Been something they had done several times with just the two guys in it and then when you add the extra weight of the other two passengers they met that day that machine probably handled much differently sober or not. Aside from all that it shouldn’t have resulted in four deaths. These Polaris razors need to be investigated and something need to change now because I feel there must be a fuel tank failure or something when they roll that causes them to explode like this one. Saw reviews about this a few years ago before I bought a can am and can’t believe they havnt fixed whatever this major flaw is. Really feel for all the families involved. It would be nice if  Yamaha, canam, Honda techs would reach out to Polaris and give them the specs on your fuel systems so they can create one that is safe in case of a roll over

Couldn't access the NY democrat Times, so here's another link with a good video.

https://www.ksl.com/article/50505095/polaris-rzrs-still-catching-fire--despite-years-of-recalls

Just copy and paste, not sure how to hyperlink.  After watching that, even if they were drinking, I don't think that the cause of this is due to that, sounds to me like it just exploded and burned to the ground.  RIP, so sad.

Wow, just wow.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
