When you think your driveway is level

[RacerxV6]

So I have a tournament tomorrow and I went to gas up and get the boat ready. Got home from getting gas, unhooked boat from truck because we also eat at my mother in laws every Friday and I meet my wife there. I thought to myself, driveway is level up here. Well it’s not. Once she got high enough to clear ball, she slowly started to roll and when she got going I couldn’t stop it. Stuck my foot under the tongue like an idiot. That didn’t work just went right over. I’m ok just a little sore. I was able to get her out of the back yard but I was concerned about the spindle  because the back of the driveway is a 20” drop. I test drive her around the block and she seems fine. Here's a quick little video of the incident.

uggggghhhhh.

thanks for sharing.....

A good reminder to double block

I always double block and use a stand under the hitch....had a lift break one day 

As well....I never move the truck and keep the chains on until all is clear....

good learning for everyone...thanks for sharing.

I feel like such an idiot for trying to stop it by sticking my foot behind the tongue. I know better but I panicked. All I could think about was my boat rolling all the way down the back yard and into the creek or hitting a tree.

Funny how we often have to learn valuable lessons the hard way, but after this, you will never forget it!  Been there done that, got the t shirt!

 

on the bright side, now YOU can preach at the next guy that posts up the same mistake!  Welcome to the club!!  And it didnt even cost you a boat!
