During the operation, the driver reversed the truck down a sloped ramp to secure a cable to the jet ski. However, the handbrake failed, causing the truck to slide backward into the water.

Oooop's sorry Sarge

Tough crowd here.  Boat ramp fails are a favorite on YouTube.  Thousands and thousands of videos of people doing much worse. 

 

It's funny until it happens to your truck.  And even that turns into a funny story at the next beer party.

so cars can be on the beach, helping their jet ski friends with a police car?

 

Those were my first thoughts as well, but it seems that it was a marine police jet ski

Was the jet ski owned and operated by the police? Why would the police involve themselves in pulling a jet ski out of the water unless they were paid for freelancing this job? I my country a policeman can aid something like this only if it is an emergency and their intervention can save someone but it is illegal for them to use a police car for personal gain or in a manner like this unless it is support for their own equipment. . But I am not sure about Thailand in this regard.

Oh the car had only a handbrake..... no normal brakes??? no gear 1 to go forward?? or is it the high leveled education of the RTP?

 

 

Reverse back, pull on handbrake.

Exit vehicle to connect trailer.

 

whee does one apply the foot brake or put vehicle into a forward gear ?

They were not freelancing.
