Sure, boating fails have great comedy potential—especially if you’re not in the boat. However, we’d like to think that these mistakes also contain valuable lessons. While funny on the surface, it should be noted that many common boating mistakes can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Most of them can also be easily avoided.

Here are 10 examples of things you should watch out for while on, near, docking, or launching a boat. Some videos may contain strong language.

“Here, kitty kitty,” is probably not something you should be saying to a cougar. Then again, you should probably not be petting a cougar either.

That’s exactly what the person in this video did at the the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio. The man hopped the first fence meant to keep visitors safe and began petting one of the cougars through its enclosure. While the man was not in mortal danger because of the fence between him and the animals, he could have easily lost a finger to a hungry mountain lion.

If you are already terrified of alligators, we have bad news for you: they can actually climb fences.

This video comes to us from the parking lot of an Everglades air-boat tour company. The uploader of the video was trying to shoo the gator out of the parking lot before customers arrived for the day.  As he was walking next to it the gator, it suddenly jumped up and started climbing a chain-link fence.

Though it seems to largely be flying under the radar, a $39 million class action settlement by Taurus Firearms could impact up to 100,000 handguns with alleged safety design issues:

There is a price for everything and, apparently, a snake selfie ends with $153k medical bill along with a very nasty, painful and potentially lethal bite. That is to be expected. Or at least it should have been, but Todd Fassler apparently expected a much more different outcome when he tried to snap a selfie of himself and a rattlesnake.

If you read this blog regularly, you know it’s rare I’ll focus on a single product in it. Mostly, that’s because it’s rare that a product worth that much attention comes along. But in this case…

As you may already know, FCA (formerly Fiat Chrysler) has been hit with the highest punishment ever for transgressions that the NHTSA considered the worst ever for a vehicle manufacturer.  I personally believe that some of the huge fines and other actions are punitive since top FCA management is perceived as stonewalling over 23 recalls.  At the rate that regulators are requiring recalls, I suspect that vehicle prices will stay high or increase since this has to be part of the calculation.

The Iraqveteran8888 crew go over their choices for five guns they would grab from off the rack in a situation where they would have to go “inna woods” and Wolverine it up.

While the likelihood of Russian or Chinese paratroopers dropping from the sky may seem far-fetched, the IV8888 guys argue that anything from societal breakdown after stock markets crash due to cyber attacks, a tyrannical government forcing compliance after dissolving our constitution– or an invading force could– present a theoretical situation in which picking five guns from the herd makes sense.

Or at least an interesting discussion.

It seems like only yesterday that Ford introduced its ground-braking aluminum-bodied F-150, but with 2016 model year creeping up they have taken the wraps off a new Limited edition that will supersede even the King Ranch and Platinum in luxury.

Are a chameleon’s camouflaging abilities any match for a deadly cobra?

As this interesting clip from National Geographic shows, the answer to that question is a resounding no.

The video shows us a life-and-death battle between a chameleon and a zebra spitting cobra. While chameleons are renowned for their exceptional camouflaging abilities, they are no match for a cobra’s sense of smell or deadly venom…
