Fap! We should be on vacation now; we should be out there fishing. Somehow we always managed to avoid the mishaps shown in this video.
They do remind me, though, of a friend of ours who could never climb into a boat without falling out of it.

Laugh Break: Boat Launch Fails
Spring is here, and it’s time to go boating!
Many of us launch and retrieve our boats by way of public boat launch ramps. It’s not really that hard to do, provided you remember not to launch your car into the water, too. This simple principle seems to have eluded the boat owners in this video.
Problems can also arise when your trailer isn’t strong enough to bear the weight of your boat. It’s not a good thing when your trailer collapses and the wheels come off. It’s something you should have checked before you went boating. An ounce of prevention’s worth a pound of cure, etc.
Bonus Video: Saps at Sea
This is funnier than Laurel and Hardy! Yeesh, some people get in trouble just sitting in a boat, let alone trying to make it go anywhere. And some make a little extra effort to ship themselves to Davy Jones’ locker, e.g. by an ill-advised use of recreational explosives.
Oh–and motorboats really do a lot better if someone is actually steering them.
