Sometimes you get on the ridge and you feel that you don't have enough speed. You already know you are not going to make it. The dangerous part there is that you will be pulled off the ridge to the lower part of the funbox. With a wakeboard this would not a problem, it's easy to keep riding. On a wakeskate, it's actually quite dangerous. Your wakeskate will probably slip and you will crash on the funbox. Best of cases: a butt slide, worst case... you could easily break something. So you have to notice and react before it's too late. One option if you detect the problem early and it isn't too bad is the one I picked here: just let go of the cable and make your way to the end. [Another option, more spectacular and probably safer, is to let go of everything (both the wakeskate and the cable) and start running on the funbox until your clear the end and allow yourself to crash. I don't yet have a video of that.]Sometimes you get on the ridge and you feel that you don't have enough speed. You already know you are not going to make it.
