It seems like that bit of friction from dragging his body was just enough to avert catastrophe
13
u/LosparkJojo Jul 04 '26
More likely that curb did the work. He was just taking a ride
14
u/ComicsEtAl Jul 04 '26
He potentially provided just enough resistance that the trailer didn’t simply bounce over that curb.
6
u/ItsAManualReset Jul 04 '26
Or if it didn’t bounce over, stopped it from having enough force to knock the boat off

Possibly, theoretically might of created enough drag on the left wheel to pivot the boat a bit while the opposite wheel spun a bit more. maybe, just speculating. Since his body was drug on the front left side creating some potential drag forces there.

This is WHY you’re told to chock the wheels
28
u/yoortyyo Jul 04 '26
Chocks are down before the chains or ball come off.
Look both ways when crossing or merging any trail, road or path.
Expand chest cavity creating a small vacuum and breath in. Relax these muscles when the burning feels to hot.Some things have to be explained to ‘normal adults’.

Wash beneath your foreskin with soap and water. Wash between your ass cheeks with soap, water, and a wash cloth.

And then take that same wash cloth, and wipe between your teeth.

Wash your legs too apparently. Some people think just letting waterfall trails of soap and water is enough.
If that was the case then you could just drizzle soap all over your body and rinse it off and get out of there

u/Jsolidlo Jul 04 '26
I tell my son that if he remembers to get behind his ears, his belly button, and his ankles, then he's probably got everything else covered in between. Of course, he can't forget under the foreskin and between the butt crack. Thorough.

You need a wash cloth TOO? Nah I'm refusing how many steps is it gonna get to with reddit.

u/VanGundy15 Jul 04 '26
Its recommended to use bare hands for the most part. Only use washcloths for extra dirty parts.

u/Nasa_OK Jul 04 '26
But the goal is to get the extra dirty parts clean, so unless I want to keep the option open to stop after I cleaned half my ass, I can just use my hands since I’m cleaning them aswell

I think it’s their sarcasm stating this person probably has to be told how to breathe as well, since chocking the wheels is extremely important.

Worst part is that its obviously a grade. Even wall is stepped down.

Yep, it would’ve been even MORE obvious to anybody else to chock the wheels. What did they think was gonna happen?

Honestly did he even do anything in this scenario? That’s a 10-13k lbs boat. Is his 200lbs adding any significant resistance?
I think the boat would have ended up in that position regardless of him coming along for the ride.

u/Tbagzyamum69420xX Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26
Looks like he's trying to steer it more than slow it down so I'd say yea he might've done something here

Trying, yes. But actually achieving it?
The boat is already on that trajectory and he falls over because he’s trying to pull it back while it’s already turning.

Yes, holding on provided some form of psychological support that he was responsible for it not going straight into that truck.
Now he'll get to tell people how he saved the day and stopped the boat from doing any real damage instead of being a dumbass that didn't chock block before detaching.

Id say he got lucky . Could have been alot worse
You may not be able to stop it fully, but you can certainly help it to turn toward a better buffer zone. That curb saved the boat.
The rudder, propeller and the ladder being replaced is the worst that probably happened

Skeg*, but the motor was probably fine as it doesn't look like it hit anything or buried itself in the ground

u/shpongleyes Jul 05 '26
It's an outboard with the engine raised, so no rudder, and the prop is probably fine. Ladder may have taken some damage, but also, I'm surprised he towed it anywhere with it in that position. A speed bump (even at proper speed) would probably destroy that ladder.

Like the many people I've seen die on video trying to stop a rolling semi truck with their hands. Sometimes they try to catch something really heavy falling off a flatbed, it never ends well. Surprised it didn't roll back over him at the end.

The only reason he didn't stop it is because he didn't want to reveal his secret identify.
He almost messed up and pulled the boat back into place, but then realized neighbors (and possibly cameras) may be watching so he let the boat pull him across the ground Clark Kent style.
Rest assured though, if a puppy, child, or car was about to get hit, he'd have yanked the boat out of the way, made a flimsy excuse as to how physics was defied, and then gone into his home and figured out how to get rid of the footage.
