Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I remember the crew of the Great Harbor 36, Berlin Mae, telling me the tale of being dropped out of the Travelift slings. She was below decks and the drop injured her back. It’s not so much the fall as the sudden stop at the bottom. The damage to the boat was so bad that they wound up shipping the boat back to the builder for reconstruction.
