Excellent Launching Skills

I've seen some of the stupidest things ever at the launch ramps, not to mention fights and arguments. We moore our boats now and I don't get to see these Darwin award candidates often any more. I did watch a guy drop his brand new Proline on the ramp 50 feet short of the water. Made the mistake of taking off the rear safety straps before backing down the ramp, Oops dam those roller trailers.
 
Noooo...I think it was intentional. They do this all the time in Australia for surf launch...now those are epic
 
I've heard of people strapping their trailer to the boat and making a short run to their cabin on a gulf island. That way you have a trailer on land that you can winch up and get your boat out of the water. This guy looked like he wanted the trailer attached to the boat.

Boat still fully strapped to trailer, trailer starts floating, takes weight off the back tires off the truck and start slipping on a slippery launch and your trucks in the drink.
 
yup . totally normal to see guys doing this to small islands.
