Our boat club has no way to get on/off the boat at water level. The sling lift ramps are too high. You need to stand on the boat until it's lifted about 4' where the deck is level with the pavement, then the sling lift pulls over to where you can step off the bow or stern onto the pavement. Then the boat is lifted the rest of the way up.

Are you saying that nobody else does it this way?

Absolutely. Every one of those disasters I've seen has happened with a crane. I've never seen film of a travel lift wrecking a boat - Having said that, I imagine it has happened and now we'll have film at 11. :)
