Son and a friend were launching friend's boat at the bottom of a public ramp. After launching, they moved the truck (tow vehicle) and now empty trailer off to the side while getting organized. Heard a huge noise, turned around to see someone else's trailer (with boat still attached) planted in the front of his truck.
Son discovered that offending trailer...
1. had a two inch coupler and their tow vehicle had a 1 7/8 ball.
2. safety chains were used, but looked about the size of the chains your average biker would use to hold his wallet.
Photos forthcoming.
Not sure the lesson...offenders probably didn't want any assistance and didn't know they desperately needed it. Glad it hit a truck instead of a kid. Be watchful at public ramps.
