So after a good day at the lake we decide it's time to load up the boat and head home. It was about 5pm or so and the single ramp was gettin busy... both loading and unloading. There was a group of people that had three boats in the water... and a bunch of people at the dock waiting there turn.<br /><br />As boats come in or out they were being helpful during the process... making sure boats were on trailer right.... getting them to the dock. besides they were in the lake and wet... and I didn't want to be. I back the trailer in and they help the wife pull the boat around the ramp side of the dock. Thought to myself this is nice. Gettin it all lined up, one of the other guys states the ramp is a bit slick. Next thing I know this man grabs ahold of the transom to pull it towards him, slips on the ramp, hits his head on the back of the boat and in he goes. He was ok..... thank god!!<br /><br />Funny thing is this man tryin to help only waisted a bit more of my time.... and got a bump on his head. It's usually straight foward for me to do this by myself in little time. Goes to show sometimes it's best not to help!!!

It's the old "No good deed goes unpunished" adage.
