Default Dangerous Stuff

Sometimes you don't think about these little gotchas that can get you
killed quickly. They're all over the place, especially electrical
stuff.
One I still think about is the front of a pontoon boat moving at
speed.
I went forward on one my dad was driving and thought,
"Hey, this ain't right. If I fall off here it's like being in the
chute of a food processor. I'll go right into the blades."
It was a rental, and I thought there should be some kind of warning
plaque or something up there so kids would stay away.
To me, this is a real danger peculiar to the type of boat.
Most other types of boat you don't stand up as much underway and if
you fall out you should clear the prop.
Anybody got other cautions that apply to particular boats?
