Wow. Fail.

That looks like a fairly nice boat, too.

Guess they didn't listen to the warning to "trim the boat" while in the sling!

Just glad that it didn't come down on top of the two guys they fell out!

If you think that sling failure was bad check this out. The rear sling held and tore off both props. The brand new boat ended up upside down.

Just below the guy circled at the stern you'll see an arm sticking out. It got broken.
