Yeah, not sure how that happened. I've seen a truck backing a trailer down the ramp, and then they both go down so far that the truck goes completely under the water.

Never underestimate people's abilities . . . they probably started out facing the other way

He was itching to put the boat in the water that day. He went to back up the trailer, but the trailer surge brakes wouldn't release. He should probably check the blue wire and trailer connections. He didn't have time to deal with it so he decided he would have to unload facing forward and waiting for the tide to come up.

Or

While he went to the bathroom, his girl friend went ahead and tried to get the boat in the water.

I had a shop teacher in high school. He backed his truck in to get his boat. He was running the boat towards the trailer, and a friend of his was standing on the front of the trailer waiting to hook the winch line. The truck suddenly started rolling down the slip. The friend jumped and grabbed the front of the boat as he backed out of the way. The only thing sticking out was the front of the hood. The park pin had broken.
