The perversity of inanimate objects.
Gives a whole new meaning to the term "diving boat!"

Methinks this is a hoax.
Way too good photography for this to have been caught as a "snapshot" by some by-stander.

Nah, it's real
I got this about a month ago from a friend in the shipping bidness.
If I recall correctly, the two guys on board were employees of the manufacturer. I believe it was being moved off of a shipping vessel.
Regards,

Hoax...?
I saw this a few months ago, and as a photographer, I immediately thought it was a hoax. But after careful inspection i decided that if it is a hoax, it's a damn good one. But I am going to inspect it again, carefully. I still lean towards hoax, mainly because like Carl said, they are too good for amateur grab shots.

Never forget to tie the slings together
Simple words to launch by, but the lawsuit is going to turn on the question "did they or didn't they?" In the photos it seems they DID NOT. Thank goodness neither of those guys were on the bow.
