At least he has a green light. "Don't need to tie the boat down. What could go wrong?"

i dont recall all the details, but if i remember correctly the boat suffered only minimal damage and was saved. im not sure, but i think the boat broke loose and pushed it thru the intersection to the pole.

I'm sure that's what he claimed happened but I don't see how it would push the truck into a pole. Looks more like he hit the pole and then the boat broke loose flying up and over the ram.

think about how fast you would have to be going to hit the pole and make the boat fly up that far. It happened to one of our neighbors when we were growing up, he went to stop at a red light and the boat came thru the back windows of the suburban. didnt hit anything though. not tied down properly, again.
