Parking brake, what's that?<br /><br />I don't know how many of you have ever held a parking pawl in your hand, if you have, you would not trust it.

Re: One less expedition to pollute the world...

I always have a home made wheel chock, and I usually remember to use it. At the present time I have three boat trailers (for 5 boats). Each trailer has a spare tire bracket and a gear basket. I keep a wheel chock made from wood 8" X 8" X 14" attached to a length of cable in the basket. The other end of the cable is attached to the ¼-inch trailer safety cable. When I back down the ramp, I place the wheel chock behind the rear wheel of the tow vehicle. When I pull up the ramp, the cable drags the wheel chock with the trailer. The cable length is adjusted so that the wheel chock can’t get caught under the trailer wheel. This was originally done as I got tired of replacing clutches on my pick-up. But it worked so I use it all the time now.

It has happened to boaters too. Jet skiers aren't the only ones with the IQ of a stump (boaters are too).

A Jet Skier here made the news this year. Bought a new jet ski, went right to the ramp on the Licking River which was way up and running from the more than ample rain we had earlier this year. Hopped on his new jet ski and took off. Went about 100 yards and fell off. No life jacket and could not swim. They found the body way down stream. This was not a young kid. I guess everyone does not get smarter as they get older.
