Rafinx Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Well Hi again raiders, just thought i'd post up about our soft plastic and vibe session. it started all well and good with SQUIDDIN popping out a 45cm flatty on the first vibe cast, nothing for the rest of the day. CG also came down to say hello and join in on the cold windy day. But what I saw next what something that I guess I couldnt help but laugh at, (what else can ya do) poor guy, just wrote off his car trying to launch his boat. P.S. Ignore the bad quality pictures, my phone doesnt like to zoom in all the way. Oh and also I know I spelt Further wrong, >.< Edited October 4, 2011 by Rafinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wahoo76 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I know it could easily happen to anyone but man how could you not laugh at that. Try put yourself in that poor blokes head watching his car get swallowed into the water inch by inch. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafinx Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) the only thing I guess I could of done was help him take his boat home, but some one already did that, he had 2 4WD's offer assistance to take him outa the water. As I said guess the only thing you can do is laugh, If it was me, I'd just claim insurance. Edited October 3, 2011 by Rafinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRED-ATOR Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 what do you reckon it was, hand brake failure OR failure to put the hand brake up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker435 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) Poor bloke, Doesnt really matter if he has insurance or not still not a nice thing to happen to anyone, and it was probably a honest mistake anyway, thats why I always take as much care as possible at the ramp could you imagine how this guy must have felt???? good on the by standers there that lent a helping hand!!

Rafinx Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I guess I could of found out what happend, but thats the last thing that guy needs, another sticky beak by stander watching. guess it wasnt a report worth talking about, next time I just wont bother..... No offence Groper, but you started a thread on the fishing chat on Boating mishaps, and you come here saying its not funny, even tho you posted a picture of a guy that launched his boat on the ramp out of the water. I dont see the logic. Edited October 4, 2011 by Rafinx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgs84 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It was worth posting about it mate,stuff like that reminds us all to check the handbrake before we jump out of the car, I'll be checking twice this weekend there not much else you can do but have a laugh, no one was hurt so no harm no foul. do you reckon insurance would cover handbrake failure or forgetting to put it on.

ginko Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This reminds me of a roman emperor who, when he witnessed some poor sod who'd just suffered some terrible tragedy, he would pray to the gods saying "I know, you were actually aiming at me and only missed". A few months back, at a lonely boat ramp at 4am and on a fast rising tide, I had my car fail to re-start after launching my boat. That morning, I was very thankful for the unbelievably fast response of a certain road service company. Especially because I still managed to get out for a happy day of fishing.

Converted 2 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hi Mate, Good post. It just makes everyone a little bit more careful about launching the boat.This guy may have launched over a 100 times . But it only takes 1 decent mistake or a failure. To be in the same position.
