gk10002000 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 happens all the time all over the world. Some great videos on youtube. But as for high tide, low tide. Stupid. It is up to the operator to look at the ramp, the water level, know his vehicle, his tires, the condition of the ramp, etc. and decide how far down to back his vehicle. Looks like he decided poorly. The photo, presumably taken some time around the time of the incident doesn't seem to show a lot of wave action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a 2 man job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
