Saw this video on a chapparal group I am in. Looks like trailer comes off truck and roles down the ramp then SUV follows shortly after.

Check out The Qualified Captain on Instagram. You see funny shit like this everyday.
QC is one of the best!

Also, there are so many things wrong with this situation I can't even... I mean, how did that truck get so much speed coming backwards? Why was he hauling a 35' boat with an Armada?! How did he loose the trailer off the truck? Why is the guy in the boat not doing anything? WHAT THE ACTUAL IS GOING ON?

I just spent an hour on that page... thanks LOL.

I also unfortunately recognized some areas.
 
Wow - I’d really love to know how that all happened! Maybe they thought they could automatically hitch back to the trailer if they hit it just right?
 
But know one was in the car and the door was open. It looks like maybe a long ramp. Perhaps the guy got out of his vehicle and set the parking break with the vehicle in neutral maybe. When to prep the boat at the launch and the trailer came loose while he was in it. Probably cause he was using the wrong ball size and when he walked to the back of the boat it popped of the hitch. Trailer and boat slid into the water and vehicle somehow came rolling backwards right behind it or something. I dunno, I started holiday drinking tonight and am just thinking up stuff. :)
