U.S. Sailing Team Has Everyone Thrown Overboard After Someone Hits the Wrong Button

Whoops.

Back in the day, sailboats used to be controlled with nothing more than the pull of a few ropes. Over time, however, technology surrounding control of the sails has become more advanced, even if the concept of sailing itself is still stuck in the past.

Although these new innovations have some advantages, they can also lead to incredibly stupid mistakes. For example, the U.S. Sailing Team was competing when someone hit the wrong button — and immediately ejected everyone from the boat.
