We've all seen those videos and have goofed on them in the past.
It scares me a bit seeing them to the point that I turn on my 4x4 and when I step out of my truck on the ramp, I stick a chock behind a tire.
I just wonder how so many of those very capable looking 4x4 trucks end up submerged. I can understand how it could happen with a car or mini van. I saw one pickup that had a lifted suspension and huge aggressive tires being winched out of the water.
I did see a video of a guy that was "teaching" others how to launch. He said as you are backing down the ramp, put your truck in neutral so the boat pulls your vehicle as to prevent Jack-knifing. I think that's a recipe for disaster right there.
