Why You Don't Let A 16-Year-Old Launch Your Boat: A Slideshow

According to the folks that sent us this set of pictures, boaters were enjoying the nice weather at Sylvan Lake in Alberta, Canada when a dad and his teenage daughter pulled up in their new boat and new Hummer. After dropping the boat into the water successfully, the dad reportedly yelled for her to pull the SUV out of the water. This is where a textbook launch goes wrong. Instead of selecting that "D" the teenager selected the "R" and the Hummer went rolling into the water. No one was hurt but, obviously, the new Hummer is a bit soggy and Dad was not pleased.
