father's slide show for daughter killed in Rhino rollover

October 13th, 2008 by Emily Marsh

“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” This quote opens the heartwarming photo slide show of Ellie Sand. On May 10, 2008, John Sand, Ellie’s father, created a slide show that traces Ellie’s life from birth to her last year of life – her 10th year.

October 28, 2008, will mark the anniversary of this young girl’s death, which was lost on a Yamaha Rhino; her body could not withstand the 1,100-pound weight of the , which rolled over and crushed her.

One can tell Ellie loved life by the smile on her face in each photo of this video. One can’t help but fall in love with this beautiful little girl as she is watched bowling, swimming, dancing, spending time with her family, and just enjoying life.

Rhinos aren’t just killing adults; many claim the lives of innocent children. A stripped Ellie Sand of her promising future. Why are people still driving Rhinos?

    You should be ashamed of yourself posting such a comment as this. How do you know all accidents are user error. The Rhino has so many design defects Im not even going to waste my time listing them.. Not to mention you don't need to drive eratic to make one flip my son died in a rhino accident and he was a very experienced driver. This vehicle rolls over on lot boys just driving them in a parking lot as well as grass dirt roads and sand. Find something better to do with your time besides write hateful things to greiving parents
