what idiot put a sling strap without stays on a slippery boat bottom: DANGEROUS...they don't deserve to even be in the water or near machinery.
What a couple dumbasses, lucky they weren't killed. Here's a few shots of another one from the Middle East (reposted, I know). Notice in the second picture, the guy in the back riding it down, I'll bet he won't be doing that again.

I don't know much about loading and unloading boats, but wouldn't it make sense to have the two straps tethered together so they can't slip apart and let the boat fall out? And for that matter, a strap run perpendicular to the first two would seem to be a good idea also!
There are not suppose to be idiots on board the boat when you are moving it. Plus they were all in the back, that caused the boat to slip out.
I can't imagine what was going through that guy's head, though I have a pretty good guess what his bowels were doing.
