Heh - typical launch ramp escapades. Launch the boat without taking
off the bow line or the tie down straps, didn't lock the emergency
brake and away they go.

Even funnier - they panicked, started the engine and manuevered the
boat into one of the empty slips, then cut the bow line and tie downs
and the whole thing sank in 25 feet of water - all while drifting
under the docks and boats.

I've been boating since I was 12 and I've seen just about everything
there is to see at a launch ramp, but it never fails to amuse me when
things like this happen.



Why does it amuse you? What is funny about such a misfortune happening
to others? Tell us, when you see someone having problems on a ramp, do
you offer to help, or are you like that p.o.s. herring...you just sit
there and watch and laugh?

Spoofer alert! I make fun of other's misfortunes here all of the time.
Besides name calling and insulting, it's ALL I do here.

Yes, it's kind of shocking that Tom didn't jump in the way of that
rolling truck and try to stop it with his bare hands. Shocking,
simply shocking...

There were two questions:

1. What's funny about a serious accident?

2. If you see someone at the ramp having problems, do you offer to help,
or do you sit on your ass and laugh?

Apparently, for some here, the answer to 2 is sit on your ass and laugh.

I don't recall asking why Tom didn't try to stop the truck.


Perhaps someday Tom will have a serious accident while towing, launching
or retrieving his boat. Perhaps someday you'll hit a reef and your boat
will sink. Be sure to let us know how funny you think it is.

So, we should add you to the list of assholes who think accidents that
happen to others are...funny.

Wait, you're already on the list of assholes.

some accidents are because of extreme stupidity or carelessness. And they
are funny. Look how popular America's Favorite Video show is.

infamous "list".
