Car disembarking ship using planks - GIF

The thing I noticed was even though several were trying to add uncoordinated guiding directions from each of their vantage points. Before they even attempted to drive the car off of the boat, they knew enough to find long enough planks to have all 4 wheels on the planks. Someone in their group had probably experienced what can and almost always will happen loading or unloading a vehicle on a ramp that is not secured to the boat if only half of the wheels are on the ramp while traversing, braking, acceleration or movement of the boat as the weight changes is going to cause the ramps to do unwanted things.
Finding 2 long planks with the exact same strength throughout their length is equally as difficult even if both are milled from the same tree.
