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. Â*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.

You REALLY oughta Â*get a life. Â*Must be miserable to be you.

I'm betting a certain someone here has done something similar, and is
now very touchy about it. Certainly has struck the proverbial nerve,
eh?

Heh.

Anyway, alls well that ends well - nobody got hurt and that's the
important part.

Although Archie's launch ramp was closed for a while. The recovery was
just as funny - I don't know where the boat owners found the tow guy
but he was a freakin' moron. Tried to do a straight pull without a
snatch block or two to keep the truck from drifting.

Did you offer the tow truck driver your advice/help, or did you just sit
on your ass, laughing your head off.

Perhaps someday you'll have an accident with one of your boats, one that
causes serious damage but no injuries. Take some photos, so we can all
laugh at you.

I thought that retaining wall looked familiar. Oh well... some of
life's lessons are free, and some are really expensive. That looked
expensive, but I'll bet they won't do that again.
