We’ve all seen hundreds, or more, of launch-ramp videos, where things can go very wrong, very quickly. But this one, from Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, sets a new bar.
It starts with the boat owner standing on the back of his boat on the ramp. The boat’s still on the trailer, still attached to his SUV. When the SUV starts rolling backwards, he tries to jump out of the boat, but he slips and falls. The rear wheel of the SUV hits him, the open door to the SUV hits him, and the SUV rolls into the water and sinks next to the boat. The owner was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
At a final indignity, hours later, when the police pull the SUV out of the water, the SUV, a hybrid, catches fire and burns. Read more and see the video:
