Hilariously Avoidable Nautical Mistakes
Going boating can be a very relaxing hobby. A day spent on the water can truly rejuvenate you... unless your boat ends up completely underwater because you wanted to see how fast it could go. All of this just to end up on Getty.An Adventure After the Hurricane
When there is no electricity after a massive hurricane and your phone battery is dead, sometimes the best way to entertain yourself is to do something out of the ordinary.
This person decided to take advantage of the flooded streets and practice kayaking?! And what a practice it was: he even collided with cars?! Now that's someone who knows how to make the best out of a bad situation.
Not Normal at All
Your attention will be drawn directly to the big wave of foam in this photo. But if you look closely, you will see that there is another vehicle beneath the larger boat...
Honestly, it looks very painful. This small boat ended up completely crushed by that huge monster. These big motorboats really need to calm down!
Pickups Can't Float
Here's an age-old question: "How do you calmly put a boat in the water??" It's definitely confusing, a real puzzle for those who have been through it before.
Unfortunately, the owner of this pickup truck didn't solve this puzzle correctly and ended up sinking his vehicle. It was a good attempt. Maybe next time. Now he'll have to solve another puzzle.
The Runaway Boat
How does someone remedy this situation? An out-of-control speedboat seems like the worst scenario... The driver even got ejected and thankfully didn't hit the rocks.
It's a battle of attrition until the boat finally crashes. It's a situation that can quickly turn into a catastrophe. You definitely won't be able to get back on board, that's for sure.
Is That Even a Boat??
Technically, at some point, it was a boat. This man tried to modify a one-person boat into... well... this. This invention seems to float perfectly and be comfortable for its owner.
One might wonder if it works on land as well. If so, he is way ahead of his time and should consider patenting his invention. Just a thought...
Is This Seat Taken??
Some things went terribly wrong during this boat trip and everyone ended up right in the middle of the dock. We won't even ask the question that's on our readers' minds: "How did this happen?!"Not only is it very embarrassing, but it will also likely cost a lot in repairs?! The dock clearly took more damage than the boat did. Good luck to the person behind the wheel.
Unclear Directions
When you said to leave the boat in the water, did you really mean to leave it underwater? It makes you wonder how difficult it can be to sink a vehicle...
In reality, this small boat probably filled with water overnight and ended up in this water grave... It's really unfortunate for the owner. Imagine waking up and finding your boat six feet under the ground... or rather, under the water.
Are You Sure About That??
It's true: most people get a boat to be able to take a little vacation away from society and go out on the open sea. You're not supposed to be full of worries while you relax on your boat, right?!
The irony in this whole story is that the boat was named No Worries. And it's such a shame that this vessel became such a big worry in the end.
What Went Wrong??
At first, it was just a normal ship release. Everything seems to have been set up for a successful operation. The end result is that the ship did end up in the water. The problem is, it didn't end up in the right position.
For the people on site, the accident must have been quite spectacular! Look at those wood splinters flying and heading towards the camera in the GIF! But take it easy, buddy! That's a boat that's going to be very expensive to compensate for...
It Wasn't Fair
Well, this example is not a good ship release. That's for sure. This is happening in China: it looks like they tried to lower the boat by forcing it from the rear, rather than doing it from the side and applying enough force.
This photo is exactly why it's not recommended. You can see the damage on the boat, but also on the dock. It's going to cost a small fortune to repair all of this.
Too Much Action
Some people love super-fast boats. Jumping over big water gaps at an incredible speed can be fun too. It's just a hobby like any other.
Now, falling off your boat and landing in the water right in the middle of an aerial barrel probably isn't as entertaining as it sounds. We hope the driver wasn't hurt too badly...
He Didn't Quite Succeed
The stereotype about speedboat drivers remains true if we can trust this photo. This man thought he could pass over this small pleasure boat.
Well... no! Luckily, he was lucky enough not to hurt anyone. A lesson was learned here: that the owner of the speedboat doesn't have as much talent as he thought. And now, he'll have to pay a hefty sum for repairs.
Can I Park Here??
Not to criticize, but maybe this wasn't the best place to park your boat. Original, yes, but definitely not practical. However, everything is original: from the color to the way it's parked.
At least it's safe, that's for sure. No one will try to steal it considering where it is. Actually, to begin with, it's not certain that many thieves would even know where to find this boat.
Moments Before Disaster
Can you guess that he didn't succeed in pulling off this acrobatic move? It's impossible for this guy to do a split like that while carrying a heavy cooler and not fall into the water.Oh, and the boat was drifting away at the same time. This man was really determined to give it his all in that moment. Maybe he tried again and finally accomplished this feat.
Almost
He almost succeeded in his acrobatics... Almost. Someone found it so funny that they made a rather depressing GIF out of it. Plus, the GIF details every step of his failure precisely.
Well, this man's completely failed acrobatics will be forever etched in history thanks to the magic of the internet. And we can be sure of that because a huge crowd witnessed the event.
A Total Dive
This is the last place you want to see your boat. Even if it ends up underwater, can't you still get it out? In the heavy, thick, wet sand of the beach?
It will take a lot of effort to dig and a lot of planning... You'll have to fight the tides to rescue this vehicle! But we have to admit, it's still in good condition.
Speed Bump?!
It seems like this banana boat is all innocent, but apparently, it's much more dangerous than you might think. You don't believe it? You only see the fun side of the banana boat?
Well, encountering bumps on the water can be exhausting and jostling. Unfortunately, no one warned this kid to hold on tight... and we can clearly see the result here.
There's a Pole There
Strangely enough, this man managed to crash into the only pole in this lake. Seriously: you can see how empty the water's surface is around it. Yes, he completely destroyed the boat. Yes, he's okay.
Obviously, the boat's limit was exceeded, and the crew suffered the consequences. It's a lesson to be learned about the importance of established safety rules in different fields.
