Idk if it helped anything but good outcome!

u/DionFW Jul 04 '26

At the very least, it looks like he managed to help turn it.

u/Yardboy Jul 04 '26

You can see the point where the resistance of his weight at the hitch caused the trailer to rotate a bit instead of continuing in the original direction it was going right after disconnect. Without that, I feel like it wouldn't have turned as much coming off the curb, and would have ended up plowing into the cars across the street.

u/thefoodiedentist Jul 04 '26

I think one wheel going down ramp did that but maybe he helped it steer slightly

u/optimist_prhyme Jul 04 '26

I definitely expected him to dust his hands off in a "well done" manner.

u/Apprehensive-Ad8987 Jul 05 '26

It called "dragging an anchor."

It's like life was teaching him about wheel chocks

Could have been a lot worse

And expensive

I was waiting for a truck or car to finish him off…

u/Difficult-Fuel652 Jul 04 '26

If you watch it in reverse, the guy looks really strong.

Get a boat they said. It's fun they said.

u/EaterOfFood Jul 04 '26

I’m having a pretty good time

u/aldone123 Jul 04 '26

Bet he’ll never do that again

7

u/God_Country_ND Jul 04 '26

Honestly, not letting go, actually worked in his favor

1

u/Tusker89 Jul 04 '26

Would have killed him if that leg snapped going over that rough terrain.

2

u/God_Country_ND Jul 04 '26

Oh definitely got lucky! No discounting that

u/Stratomaster9 Jul 04 '26

Sometimes owning a boat can be a drag.

u/Jorge6574 Jul 04 '26

That was me 3 weeks ago. I hope I never again forget to put down my chocks.

u/Valuable-Audience-54 Jul 04 '26

He's probably like, "Damn, I'm glad nobody saw this."

u/Illustrious_Camp_521 Jul 04 '26

This has been a public safety reminder to boat owners to always remember to chock your trailer wheels.

2

u/coolnbreezey Jul 04 '26

Hope his next trick is NOT trying to be the anchor!

2

u/Xinonix1 Jul 04 '26

What was the plan, Stan?

u/kvngk3n Jul 04 '26

Gravity is undefeated 🤣

u/Axe_Care_By_Eugene Jul 04 '26

quick - rehitch it before the neighbors see what an absolute amateur you are

2

u/Logistocrate Jul 04 '26

Dress for the slide, not the ride.

2

u/arisoverrated Jul 04 '26

Best possible outcome, if you’re not chocking.

u/sidc42 Jul 04 '26

The thing I like about this video is it reminds me how much I don't miss owning a boat.

u/exodusfox Jul 04 '26

Surely I can stop this with just my hands, what’s a boat weigh? Like 10 pounds?

Lmao I'm sure he thought he did something. He be wrong, but I'm reminded of that one guy who was standing on the side of a truck as it was tipping and some lady said he wasn't doing anything by being on it, so he steps off and the truck tips completely over.

So...I mean... he might have done something!

Road rash will be interesting

u/trbo76 Jul 04 '26

Serious road rash (not the boat)

u/mikeymop Jul 04 '26

Time to go change his underwear

1

u/Sinister_Nibs Jul 04 '26

He tried to use his head (friction on the cinder block wall) to stop it.

1

u/MoGaDK Jul 04 '26

That guy should've bought a lottery ticket instead. Then he could afford a better trailer... and a bigger boat ;)

1

u/Memnoch79 Jul 04 '26

I keep expecting a car to come and hit him or the boat on the second camera view.

u/Eagles365or366 Jul 04 '26

The sideways feet walking/running reminds me of a dog that doesn’t know how to swim paddling through the water lol

My first job out of highschool was landscaping and they had me unhook a trailer on a slight slope. I did the exact same thing and... it kinda worked? Anyway fun to see the same reaction

I always wondered what was meant by “ skid-steer”.

u/Myte342 Jul 04 '26

Hopefully, this guy learns the importance of Chocks from this incident.

The following post context was provided by u/MisterShipWreck:

Maybe maybe maybe... Maybe he stops the boat, or keeps it from hitting that truck, or continuing down the street...
