How to carry a boat on the roof rack

Came across this gem today on a local news outlet. It seems a pickup truck towing a boat was waiting at a traffic light when it was rear-ended by another pickup truck. The boat was launched up onto the roof of the towing truck! Woman injured after rear-ending boat, sending it over truck | KSL.com Looks like the boat came out alright, but its trailer not so much.

I think someone just invented a new roofmount for a boat.

I am actually planning on putting a Livingston 14' boat and trailer on top of a bus. We will use a winch and a loader system to put the boat up top. The trailer will have large sand wheels for beach launching down in Baja.
