They keep asking the same question! hehe...

actually no, I have never fallen through a tramp... but I do know a guy who did fall through a tramp (that looked good) while stepping his mast. He didn’t hurt himself but someone else said, "Imagine breaking your ankle and legs on the trailer below". That ALWAYS haunted me. I have had several fractures in my ankles from motocross days, and also golf cart injuries (they don’t jump as well as you would think) and get the willies thinking about smashing my ankles on my trailer with a mast over my head.

I read a story of a guy who broke his leg sailing and eventually had to get it amputated from complications.

My current cat has a new tramp because a previous owner took his wife and kids out on it (after it sat in the yard/sun for years). When he tried to lower the centerboards... the family of wasps in the trunk didn’t like it and attacked him. As he floundered about... his family FELL through the UV damaged tramp.... i bet that was a sight to see. He sold the boat that very same day (THANK YOU)
