I actually saw the same thing live only the other way around. The guy backed the truck down the ramp and stopped so that the back of the boat was at the waters edge. He started to remove the boat tie down and the brake on the truck slipped. Yup the whole thing went backwards into the lake. The truck was in up to the windows and the boat/ trailer was floating.

Bad stuff...
Same thing happend in my neck of the woods. A few years ago a man backed an old station wagon down a fairly steep ramp..the ear on the automatic tranny broke off and the entire boat and wagon went into the lake..
Lesson learned..put her in park and put the emergency brake on..

you can tell from the skid marks going down the ramp that he prolly had the wheels locked up for a good bit. Kind of like our government right now. The people are starting to slam the brakes on the government, but the governemnt just keeps on plowing through whatever is in its way and will eventually end up like this truck....in too deep.
