I only want to talk about this part of your post. I think this boils down to either ignorance, or cluelessness. There is a difference.

Ignorance to me means that the person knows enough not to do something, but does it anyway.

Cluelessness to me means that the person does not know not to do something. In other words, they were not educated.

Which brings me to my point. Where does one get an education on how to load/unload a boat at the ramp?
The answer is simple...there is no place. It is not discussed in the boater safety education course, and as far as I know, it is not discussed anywhere else. So how do they learn? Experience, and from the experiences of others who have been educated. That's how I learned.
