WTF, My Rhino Ramp Shattered Into Pieces
the fact that it happened while pulling onto the ramps leaves too much room for speculation by a legal attorney
plus you suffered no damage to yourself, so a big lawsuit is completely outof the question
just see if you can get your money back and fix your car(probably won't happen)

In all honesty, if there were some huge lawsuit like some people in here are suggesting, the manufacterers attorney would probably tear him apart anyway. This happened while he was driving the car on to the ramp, which could suggest he did it too fast or had the ramps on uneven ground, etc. etc. The bottom line is that short of telling everyone that the ramps are pieces of shit like he is doing here, there really isn't much else he can do.
Another thing I noticed when I went back to make sure that he was loading the car when it happened was this:
I missed it in the beginning like most people in this thread did. But if he already had a set that looked like they were weak and were bowing out I would suggest either a death wish or slight mental retardation to go buy another set and get under a car that is sitting on them.

2nd off, if I were to sue, I would hire an attorney. Of course an attorney for a large company would tear me apart in court...
3rd off, it's convient how you left out why I said the first set buckled. I had thought I drove up too close to the edges of the ramps, causing stress along the walls of the ramp.

Before anyone throws their Rhino Ramps away, can they please cut them apart in the area the broken ones failed? It'd be cool to see if there are bubbles in yours too. Also mention when you purchased them.
Not sure if bubbles = failure, but the more info, the better.
