The thing that fascinates me about boat fails is that they’re all so easily avoidable. I mean, how do you manage to crash into something that’s in plain sight with plenty of room to maneuver around it? If people drove cars like they drive boats–well, it doesn’t bear thinking of.
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.
Looks like some people just can’t decide whether to launch their boat or launch their car–so a lot of cars and pickup trucks wind up in the drink.
Time for a movie!
I suppose I shouldn’t laugh at these boating and fishing mishaps; but really, they’re all so easily avoidable!
To operate a car on public roads, you have to demonstrate that you can, in fact, drive the blinkin’ car and you understand the rules of the road. But to operate a high-powered boat, well–all you need is the boat.
Watch what happens when “What, me worry?”, “Look, ma, no hands!” drives her boat into the cauldron of doom. And later on you’ll meet a guy whom you definitely never want to go fishing with…
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.
