Boat Lift Goes into the Lake

I'm also glad the young man is OK...However...Looking at the picture it appears that there isn't anything from stopping the fork lift from going into the water if his brakes failed. Maybe there is, but the picture doesn't show it. IMO there should be some type of barrier that will stop anything from going off the end if you get too close.

If I remember correctly the metal sides come up a little...not much though.

Keep in mind for every foot you have in a barrier, that's another foot you have to lift the boat.
