Idiots On Boats - Expensive Fails | FailArmy 

Kiethys done himself a mischief.

Yeah that line had me rolling up and down the walls

That's us aussies for you haha

Real Australian moment

That's right up there with _"Hey, Billy. That hurt."_

Whatever boat Brian buys after this, it will always be "in the middle of the street".

Our boat, in the middle of our Street.

Brian is with Just Stop Oil

😂

dude, where ,s my car?

just remember if you are on a boat at sea fire is your worst enemy .

@@peterf.229 That's just big shark propaganda.

Even Brian Shaw couldn't stop that boat from rolling over it was probably 25,000lbs! A for effort though lol

@@atodaso1668Timestamp please?

The same Darwin Award mentality that assured him that nothing would go wrong being towed like that.

every day

Because what you see on Fail Army is the exception, not the rule.

like

Every single day.. 😂

​@@scottishscott3504I think it's becoming the rule and smart people are the exception..

Yes! And in the end he saved neither of them...total comedy in the Laurel and Hardy style...classic. A total idiot, but very funny!

At least he had it on camera that it was the fork that failed, not driver incompetence. Unless of course, it's that you're not supposed to use a forklift to move a boat trailer like that.

He reminded me of Oliver Hardy

@@ConnieHirsch You are not, the fork got lifted up by the boat going over the bump which is what pulled the fork off.

@@ConnieHirsch He would've been fine if he had slid the fork to the side. He left it in the middle, the only spot the forks can be removed when lifted. Pretty dumb.

Or autopilot.

That's exactly why I keep to small lakes and streams that prohibit powerboats. Too much beer and too little situational awareness.😬

As a rower, I would say "doesn't care". In parts of Germany, the limit for "no license needed" was raised from 5 to 15 hp a few years ago, obviously to support the boat hiring business. Too many care- and clueless people now at the helm of a motor boat.

@@hendrsb33 I agree, my sister loves to kayak and I always tell her to stay out of the river and stick to lakes and creeks

@@achim8239 clueless people are everywhere but in the USA it feels like we have a lot of operators under the influence. I don’t even wanna be on the water when a lot of boats are out there because the chances of someone being drunk and or an idiot are too high

Smart enough to drive their boats onto the shore in the first place so...

19:00 Laser sailboat apologist here, and there are a few possible scenarios for why this happened: 1) That guy is a plain idiot who doesn't know what he's doing 2) OR he is a relatively inexperienced sailor practicing what's called "roll tacking" where you purposely "roll" your boat during a tack (turn into the wind) to the point where it looks like you're capsizing, then when your sail swings around you throw your weight back on the other side to slam the boat back down flat on your new line. It's pretty much used only in small sailboat racing to preserve momentum through a tack, and that guy looks like he could have purposely thrown his weight to try and roll, but he was slow to switch sides to even out the tip when he was through the turn, so the boat continued rolling until it capsized. I have a laser myself but have only "roll tacked" while racing or practicing for racing on an FJ (Flying Jane) which is a 2 person racing boat a bit wider and more stable than the single person Lasers. 3) It's hard to tell where the wind is coming from in the video, but it actually looks like it's coming from behind him, in which case the turn was actually a jibe (turn downwind) which is a much quicker and violent turn than a tack, in which case if he tried a "roll jibe" where you again roll the boat then jump to the other side to slam it flat, a jibe is far easier to capsize in even in light winds, and you never want to roll during a jibe, in which case we loop back to Scenario 1: he is just a plain idiot. Scenarios 1, 2 & 3: Lasers are super easy to capsize and flip back rightside up, they are super fun (which is why I own one), and don't cost thousands or millions of dollars worth of damage to capsize (it's free) like all the other clips, so as long as that dude is having fun, clip is funny but he's alright by me

3 Men in a tub🛁

@@therealzeus1021it wasn't a boat

Precise roll jibe lol

@@therealzeus1021 Yeah, jibe never a good idea on any sailing vessel.

The "Ah, dang it" seals it.

yeah, it must be the most beautiful yacht i have seen, so clean

*why did you say it like this*

Also I just looked up your channel and saw a bunch of videos in the FailArmy style. They even have “Fails of the week” and “FailArmy” in the title, what’s up with that?

Just give it a thumbs up like a normal person

Response nice.

Insurance agencies are about to have a field day with those lmao

🤣🤣

We got boats flying before cars because of the folks in these clips

Amphibious-vehicles look like a better choice to me!

lmao I scared my cat when i laughed at the boat flying down the street

We should raise a statue to this man for this genius move.🙂

Yeah, women are always impressed by men doing stupid things.... ahhhh, no wait. 😂

The damage was honestly not that bad. Could've been worse.

Thanks, some of these are incredible. I kind of want the backstory on all of them.

@@Bruh-wb3qw how do you repair that damaged hull now?

@@lppedd Boats aren't super hard to repair, its expensive but structurally not that hard. For example, the Stockholm, now MV Astoria, was built in 1948, had her bow completely destroyed in a collision with the SS Andrea Doria (which sank shortly afterwards) in 1956, sailed back to port under her own power, had the bow rebuilt and is currently operational and awaiting sale for continued operation after being laid up during Covid

@@lppedd Buff out the stainless bow plate, pack some tiger hair epoxy in the hull, sand it and call the gelcoat guy to come finish it up. For a boat like this is probably cost them at least $10k for the repair if it was just cosmetic and nothing structural.

especially with that boat, it looked brand new and EXPENSIVE .

I don't think you need to be a truck driver to feel that pain. I felt if for sure.

@@daniellclary I don't drive at all, and I felt it.

i think i got a minor brain damage by watching it.

On your 'artic' the tractor is much shorter than the trailer. For a long SUV and short trailer (jet-ski) you can't turn fast enough. Someone should make a trailer extender bar.

​@@RichardDTubeI've backed my jetski many times in my F350 4 door with a 10ft flatbed without issues. Issue is people never even bother practicing before going to a public boat ramp and embarrassing themselves

Well, he was trying to kill the shark, stuck a hook in him, so at least the shark got some payback before he was killed....

I wonder precisely where he was bitten.

Good for the shark.

@@nagoranerides3150 yep, you can try to eat stuff, but some will fight back.

@@BlokeOzzie In the wallet.

I drove an 18 wheeler for 17yrs, and found it WAY easier to back than my 18' bass boat!

Just like my dad, he couldn't back his boat in either. Solution, got a front hitch.

@@mohmoony3918 Actually- I found that rapid little "corrections" while backing is an immense help with shorter trailers!

He should have lowered his endgate to see better, and put a single hand at the bottom of the steering wheel.

lol a front trailer hitch to put a boat in sounds like a good idea 🤣 you could tow it like normal til you got to the ramp then put it in the water and back the truck out .

His right leg was fractured at least.

His back is probably broken too. Don't envy that guy at all.

He's probably died from the injuries. I would bet a lot of money

😮😮😮

@@pedromorett How much? $10K? $100K?

they’re reflexes

not to mention it was crazy overcast and hazy. Not great conditions for being seen at speed.

Imagine being a spearfisher with nothing more than a small float as a marker...

that bloke in the boat just didn't care, what's he gonna do? chase me? ha ha watch me drown this fool on a kayak Didn't know he's being recorded. Almost attempted murder

@@leeoshea2290 depends entirely on who the driver of the boat is and who the kayaker is if the cops will pursue it or claim they don't know the boaters intent

@@eligriggs5856 He was wearing his high-visibility shorts, though.

I give good odds many of those are rentals/borrowed and not actually being piloted by the owner.

The poor things but the one called iceberg was a real jerk

Less of a privilege and more of a blight

Those tankers and cruise ships, too😮😮😮NO qualified captains???😮😮😮😮

@@Relkond You're on! I think lots of people don't take boating seriously, like flying a small aircraft only when sober, well rested, with a good flight plan and as weather permits. Instead, people treat boating as pure leisure time with their toys and today's Saturday so we're going no matter what. There's usually plenty of alcohol in use too.

it's so nice to have a fail video that isn't 40% people slipping on their porch steps

@@zibberebbiz or falling off a skateboard

Agree

100% with you on that - what an epic compilation!!

I was suprised that they had no knife with them, it seems basic marine practice.

Looked real young too. Probably a family business and it's his first job. Guy was smiling wide and definitely not aware of the potential dangers. Quick lesson for the young guy for sure. Hope he's alright.

I hope so, too! A real painfull bite with deep scars, so he never forget, that is not "cool" to catch poor sharks 👿👹

​@@wolf_or_lambCoulda been an accidental catch. It can happen with turtles when pond fishing, so I'm sure something similar could happen in the ocean

@@wolf_or_lambBoth of your channels scream cringe

@@thatoneultramarine208 Which "both channel"? You speak in riddles 🤨..I have no channel!. 🤔

actually. I thought he was a legend. put his new toy safety before his body :)

Oh no the colour coordination police are here...

Was literally saying aloud "What the F*** is he doing!?" until I saw the name. "Oh, he was napping. Got it"

If you are talking about the ferry 19:13, the guy was in the bathroom.

Came here looking for a shark comment. I laughed the whole time.. go fishing for shark, and sometimes the shark is fishing for you.

@@cashman1971 Hope you always support the team and Bad Time

@@beasobeaso 😍

That's the Irish for ya!

He never financially recovered from it

​@@failarmyEmotionally and Socially

I enjoyed the screams way too much.

One of them did OK, towards the end of the clip. But in principle, you're right of course, it pays to assume you're screwed, unless there's (say) a quick-acting spring brake you can hit.

I love that you don't realize why they're actually doing that 😂

@@allonenut I never said I don't know why. Boats are expensive. That's what insurance is for. Would you try to catch a pot of boiling water that gets knocked off the stove, or back up and avoid being scalded? How bout a knife, risk your digits and try to catch it? Same damn principal.

@@Gottenhimfella It's hard to do. Certain situations, I would definitely. If the boat is just a skiff, or just a run of the mill 9 ft aluminum. Light enough for most people to minimize the damage.

@jeffjeannette9364 screw the boat and how expensive it is. I'm talking about others being in danger because of an error the boat owner caused. At least attempt to control a disaster where you can, unlike a knife a pot of water where you clearly cannot.

How much of that does he actually remember without the help of the video, lol

how much of that does he actually rember without the help of the video, lol

Sharks not going down without taking one of them with him!

"Kill or be killed". 😎 I like that shark.

Not sure if they were trying to cut the sharks head off or amputating his leg!

this is a joke right?

probably... $3M + not sure how much those house boats are... Some of those megayacht accidents were probably expensive too. not completely sunk, but tons of repairs needed.

@@paulwalnuts3249 yeah I hadn’t gotten to those yet. Once I posted this and then got To that huge blue yacht repeatedly smacking the dock and concrete I was like.. oh I gotta delete my comment 😭😭

California Lake, I wish there was a location on that houseboat. Could have been around where I live.

They are just watching money sink

@@FailFamily101 Probably rented for a vacation. Depending on the lake. Hope they got a big deposit or the optional insurance.

Yeah, that's kinda sus.

Yep

Yep. And it was no rental cheapie... how the heck did that person get to be behind the wheel?

Twice?

This is why you don't computerise vehicles...

I wasn't waiting for it. Just thinking it's a simple clip of a runaway boat casually floating down the river, and the show is over.

I noticed that too. He was really moving!

Boat went downstream, so did he, and while swimming, faster. So he might have even managed to get the boat or a rope before it would smash into something. Was worth the effort.

Or they are just scared but try anyway

Yup.. I was on a ferry from Finland to Sweden when it caught on fire, but luckily the crew got it under control.. another ferry was stuck on the rocks between Åland and mainland Finland.. 😅 But, I'm an archipelago girl.. it was scary af, but not scary enough.. 😅

People are dumb.

A wife who won't let you go fishing?

@@RideAcrossTheRiver, how many times has he, as a husband, left her alone, and not given her the love that he moronically gives to fish? There’s likely a history of his attitude not being one of a married man. Why would he marry her, then neglect her by being alone all the time? Surely there is something he could do instead that they could do together… but no, he chose fish instead. Life is not about self-fulfillment, but about self-sacrifice, that is the goal.

@@games1004 Nah. Fishing is better.

Agreed. Nice set up & punch line.

It's like trying to pick a lock with a wet herring.

And the added bonus is you get to haul the boat back *up* the ramp later, with wet tires. Backing a trailer, just hold the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it the direction you want the trailer to go, but your hand should move no more than two inches, and your foot never touches gas pedal nor leaves brake. Don't be prideful and try to salvage a bad approach. Its embarrassing to be laughed at for having to try two or three times, but its more embarassing to have to get a tow truck to haul your new submarine out and *still* have failed to launch the boat.

That's what He said!
