Ok, not so much. http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/y...00 390657.jpg 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? |

Shocking, simply shocking... |

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. |
