It happens from time to time. Several boats have been destroyed like
that. My father inlaw's 43 foot Hans Christian was almost dropped like
that. Fortunately, the sling slipped only a small amount. I noticed the
camera man was quite startled. He must have been the owner watching his
boat getting trashed. Smart boatyards strap the top of the sling to
prevent this type of thing from happening.
