Nothing like having your boat and trailer pole-vault itself into
oncoming traffic...

It IS funny, though...might win $10K if you get it on video.

Once upon a time...... I was driving through downtown Detroit at rush hour.
Stop and go traffic both directions. There was some sort of distraction on
the road and traffic stopped suddenly in the opposite direction. A guy
towing a boat without it being tied to the trailer slams on his brakes and
the boat climbs over the front of the trailer and goes flying over the
center barrier.. Here comes a boat heading straight for my car, I was still
moving and the boat passed over the rear quarter of my car and landed right
behind me. Must of scared the crap out of the guy behind me.
