well mine wasnt exactly on the ramp it was trying to load my boat by myself. it was the first time i put the boat out by myself and there was a line of about 4 boats behind me trying get out too. backed the trailer in and and ran over to my boat, climbed in and threw the trolling motor down and started away from the bank (why i even put the trolling motor down i still dont know to this day). sometimes my trolling motor sticks in the mount and you have to step on the bracket by the shaft while pulling up on the rope. remember i'm in a hurry because of all of the other boats and i want to be cool and look like i know what i'm doing. well when i stepped on the bracket to unstick the trolling motor my foot slipped out from under me and went flying off the boat making me lose my balance. the first thing that landed was, uh, my groin region on the side of my boat. i'm 6'3 230 lbs so it wasn't a light landing. needless to say i was completely paralyzed from the pain and fell off the side of the boat into the lake. trying swimming when you can't move any portion of your body or breathe lol. moral of the story, cool means nothing when your paralyzed and holding your stuff in the water in front of the ramp with 5 boats of people laughing at you. lol
