Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Anything that involves week end warriors/sailors, boats, and mechanical devices, can be an source of endless amusement. The beginning of the week end is dangerous, but the end of the week end is downright scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Suspect the driver left his seat and either forgot to set the parking brake and put it in park or... Did both and there was not enough friction between the rear wheels and the ramp to stop it from sliding. Did you hear the guy in the video keep telling his girl to quit laughing so loud?

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 One thing I have never mixed is alcohol and salt water. Saw too many nasty boat accidents in my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Folks don't seem to realize that the tires on a vehicle most likely are filled with AIR which makes them FLOAT. Time and again people will try to drive through flood waters over a roadway because it doesn't look all that deep, Only to float off the road and dire things happen. I suspect that the rear tires of that van had very little contact with the boat ranp and wave movement moved it off into the oblivion. Thankfully the dang fool got out alive.

Sparky Nelson Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 One thing I have never mixed is alcohol and salt water. Yeah, it tastes awful. But mixing alcohol and fresh water should only be done in a glass. A lady I worked with drowned in the Ohio River after a drunk boater hit the boat she was in. (Okay, I admit calling the Ohio "fresh water" is a stretch.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The boat ramp at Lake Ferguson, Greenville, MS is off the main levee there and is very steep. It was hard enough to move your foot from brake to gas while releasing the clutch and giving it enough without stalling. Danged hairy sober much less full of beer!!!! Was I glad for auto transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ramps also tend to get algae growth. Not good traction on slime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 You aught to be at a ramp when some joker drives his Amphicar into the water. I was out fishing some docks a couple of years ago when someone with a real pretty blue Amphicar drove it into the water. I just about had a heart attack. Then I saw him laughing an putting around. Apparently he does that just to mess with people. Jeez.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
