In the sense that something designed to carry 8,000lbs can probably actually handle 10,000lbs? Or in the sense that if they both died insurance would still pay out?

The floats are EZDocks, each with a carrying capacity of 3,000lbs, total capacity is 12,000lbs.

The lift is a JLG 3246es, which has a weight of less than 5,000lbs.

In order for something to tip over, the center of mass has to move outside the area of the base and most of the weight is in the bottom part of the lift. So it is basically impossible without actively trying to tip it over.

They might get wet?

Yes.

Life insurance wouldn't be the problem. The problem would be if they lived and were injured. That would be a work comp nightmare. Just imagining getting that call is giving me a headache.
