About 5 years ago a buddy of mine bought his first boat with his sister and brother inlaw. It was a 30' Sea Ray and he docked it on Cape Cod. His first weekend out when he was coming back in to dock he somehow knocked the throttle forward and the boat lunged toward the dock. He quickly hit the throttle in reverse before hitting the dock but little did he know his brother inlaw fell off the back of the boat.

It wasn't petty, he back up into his brother inlaw and the prop chewed up his leg pretty badly. Off to the hospital in an ambulance he went and he was lucky he didn't lose his leg.
