Hmmmm, wonder what coming out from a tree line with a 25 MPH crosswind would feel like.

We in the fire service call that "job security!"
Just because you can doesn't always mean you should.

The problem is that they take someone else out of the gene pool, not themselves.

Well you see that is just the thing when you are in a dry gulch and a rain surge comes in.

Holy crap. Initially I thought it was just an odd sort of thing. After watching that, I'm really scared for that whole contraption!

I just started Googling for a suitable double-towing photo to show how you can do this more safely in countries where the laws are different...

But then I found the picture below showing what is apparently called a 'Smart Trailer' which is technically a vehicle extension rather than a trailer - not sure how it gets round corners but presume the wheels themselves must pivot or something - anyway, the comment posted with the photo is interesting, and maybe someone should tell the guy with the pontoon boat about these things

Trailer devices such as the Smart Trailer that was linked to are not considered trailers by most States. They are called "Load Carrying Vehicle Extensions" and are considered part of whatever they are connected to. I have been towing one like the Smart Trailer I built for 8 years in Washington State where double towing is not allowed and have never been questioned.

Pretty clever as you need to be 65 feet or under in some states (like CA). You can either go up (to 13'-6"), buy the permit, or stay home. That set-up actually looks far more stable than any pontoon trailer that I've ever seen rolling down the road. Around here, the pontoon trailer wheels are always inside the pontoons so the wheels are maybe only a couple feet apart. They get really tippy when they go around corners or in strong cross winds.
