I once had a boat slip which was right next to a public launch ramp. I could have sold tickets to watch the fun goings on there.
Saw this happen last year at our ramp, only our guy wasn't as lucky, he missed out on the free car wash and jack knifed into the ramp instead. When you step out of a manual shift truck to check why the motor is dragging, you really should remember to put it in gear and set the brake.
Nice way to get a laugh this morning as we watch the spring blizzard in Den. waiting for spring to arrive.

Port of Canaveral Florida was my favorite spot to watch them launch and recover, six across. There's a Tiki bar right next store for drinks as you watch the boatniks on any given Sunday. Watched a boater come in so hot he launched the boat on top of his pickup truck. Never rush be safe...
I watched some old guy (probably younger than me) and a kid load a crab boat on a trailer. Their plan was the old guy would drive the boat up hard onto the trailer. Once the boat was on the trailer the kid would pull the truck forward and off they would go. Fastest boat loading you could imagine. What happened was when the kid pulled the truck forward and the trailer came out from under the boat. The boat smashed hard onto the concrete ramp damaging the out-drive and putting a big hole in the hull.
The old guy was pissed at the kid for pulling up too quickly but we all know it was his own fault for trying to pull-off such a stunt. Like kjretlaw said, "Never rush. Be safe."
Great entertainment.
