I've seen really nice 4wd pickups with excellent tires and firm parking brakes skate right on into the drink just like being on wet ice. It's always prudent to get out and walk the ramp before hand instead of blindly offering up your expensive vehicle on the boat ramp altar. It sure wouldn't hurt to carry some sharp sand to dust the boat ramp as a precaution... an anchor point with a bumper mounted winch would be extra insurance.

In the above video, it appears that as soon as the man's foot hits the ramp, it shoots out from under him like it was greased... and yes, his form was less than perfect coming off the boat.
Probably why I don't like boiled okra the color slime and smell reminds me of the algae
