Truck in river at Cotter April 5?

[Engr5]

Was everyone involved OK?  With the current, how long to get the truck's driver back to shore and then the truck?  Seemed calm standing on the truck.

There is another video ive seen floating around of this.   Funny you can hear the guy yell it was in park the whole time so maybe something broke in the tranny, but what would prevent you from just hitting the brakes, in the video i saw the wheels were rolling the whole time

Usually when I panic , I hit the brakes.   Maybe he had a few to many beers before launch.

I worry I’ll make a mistake one day.  I’m usually alone when I go.

Yeah who knows, people react differently when they don't have time to think things through.  Only other thing I can think of is that he thought if he kept backing it in, the boat would get up on the trailer, and he was focusing on that and not paying attention to where he was on the ramp.  

Could've been tired of making payments too.  Hello State Farm, you wouldn't believe what just happened to me.

Why else pay for insurance, right?
