Your car will not float when you cut the boat away from the trailer!

This weekend at lake Austin my buddy calls me and tells me to take my time getting back to the ramp to pull out, seems as though someone had an accident.

They were pulling their boat out when they realized they had a flat tire, so what did they do? Well why not just jack it up here on the ramp with the boat on the trailer and change that bad boy? Wave came, boat pulled back out, off the jack and down the ramp we go. In this crappy cell phone pick they were cutting the bow strap from the trailer, that was the only thing left holding up the tow vehicle at that point.

I try really hard not to laugh because accidents happen, but sometimes the stupid people deserve it!

Wow, jacking your vehicle up on the boat ramp with the boat still connected and in the water, that is brilliant! I have had my share of goofs on the ramp but this one is taking it to a new level! What ramp was that on Austin? Just think, with the holiday weekend coming up we have plenty more "stupid" on the ramp in store.

Ok, I better quit making fun or I am going to jinx myself...

If you are standing at Emma Long Park looking at the boat ramps, this was the south most (left) ramp on the south side of the volleyball nets. It was about 8PM.

Oh geezz...what is the purpose of the vests? Can't be very deep...they are still on the boat ramp! LOL!

Actually, it looks like they floated past the end of the pier and it gets pretty deep pretty quickly. They're probably in a good 10'-12' of water headed to 20'. It looks to me like their vehicle is barely touching bottom in the front and starting to drag down the boat with it.

How do you get a flat on the boat ramp?

[Timmy!]

Shouldn't this be in the most embarrassing ramp moments thread?
