Anyone of those mooring lines connecting the ship to the pier breakout and hit you....YOU COULD LOST YOUR ARMS, LEGS OR DIE. SOMETIMES IN MY SEAMAN LIFE BEFORE WIRE CABLES, ROPES SNAPS OUT FLYING IN THE AIR. VERY DANGEROUS. YOU ONLY UNDERSTAND THE WORD DANGEROUS WHEN IT HITS YOU.
In the first place why tie that rope to the capstan when the gangway is not yet put down . The ramp or gangway will break the rope anyway because the rope blocks it.
