Whoops!! Years of Boating Blunders!

Since when did Mega Yachts start coming with ceiling fans in their staterooms???

Palladium gets an unwelcome visitor.

Never mind that. Imagine being the lory driver and explaining it to his (probably ex) boss.

Boat Crash

To day on Highway 6 out side Hamilton Ontario there was small boat crash.

Please check your spelling.

Now this is how the professionals launch a boat.



LiveLeak.com - Cops Launch Boat With Trailer .... Trailer and Boat Kicks Cops Ass

That was good Fish, and here I didn't think they filmed new episodes of the Keystone Cops anymore. So let's see what we've got.
1) They're launching the boat with a person in it, a cop who doesn't know how to lower the outboard and start it no less. Did you catch him trying to steer it down the ramp? ROFLMAO
2) Didn't latch the trailer to the hitch, much less lock it.
3) no chains to the hitch.
4) apparently the trailer's light weren't even connected.
5) They had a cop strip down to go recover the trailer. Seems there was already one uniform already wet.


Out of about 6 cops not one noticed any of this. And they let these guys carry guns????

"To protect and serve". Yeah, I really want to count on them to protect me. As for serving, maybe a burger but not much else.

Hi,

I reckon its staged.

Not all the cops have their huge well equipped belts on which would be very unusual for any I have ever seen clothed in the US.

It also seems unusual that the camera was able to pan around and catch the action.

Ha ! The only thing missing was one of them saying.. " Hey Moe, Hey Larry !!!"

Some repeats, some major goofs…painful to watch.

It's very rough in Europe at the moment.

First time I see this one...I guess it's the appropriate thread.

Good Lord. The upper structure really did taking a good hit. Would this be a total loss?

Sad to say that the one on the helm was a 'Pro' skipper and the guy running to grab the helm was the Owner.

It's a very fast flowing river and on a windy day. Why did he think a 10hp bowthruster would do a better job of turning the boat than 1600hp of power on the shafts?

Poor seamanship.

Edit to add:-

The vid has been cropped a lot from the first one I watched where the skipper reversed out straight into the current at right angles and just hit the thruster into the downstream flow. D*ck!

Hi,

Here is the rest of it.

Don't look like a windy day though but the river was high with all the flood water flowing away.
