Our dock at our lake house has been dislodged on occasion during strong storms. A portion broke free last year and was under about 10ft of water. I recovered it from the bottom of the lake and learned a bit. The weight of water against a flat surface is more than one might expect... not only if you're lifting against it(duh) but also when rotating a flat surface perpendicular to gravity. A car door from a seated position would be no cake walk.
