Apparently he had unloaded the boat and when he got in his vehicle to move it he was in reverse and the whole thing went in the lake.

I saw an older man at our HOA ramp Sunday slip on the slick ramp loading his boat and hit his head, you could tell he wasnt right after that. Glad we were there, I finish up for him while my wife got his phone and called his wife to come get him. Everyday could be your last.

Sad, once the algae starts to grow the number one rule on walking on the ramp is do not step where it is wet. My neighbor did it at RH while I was trying to wave him off. It was like ice and when he tried to get up he just kept going down.

Not knowing the guy I can't help but wonder if some other medical issue played a role.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you are a mile away, AND you have their shoes.
