It's so sad that we lost engineer TF2 to such a preventable accident, thank you for making this helpful video to help others from not making the same mistakes.
RU-vid seems to recommend this video to me every few months, and as a forklift driver, I watch it every time in order to ensure I get a solid refresher in my understanding of maritime safety.
As an overweight male with a girthy waist line, I've become aware of the snapback of my belt, and have painted lines in my house for my family's safty. This video was very informative, thank you RU-vid.
Pretty sure I seen this in a compilation of some sort, so maybe it has something to do with that, that or people are just big fans of digestible clips less than 5 minutes.
Be careful! The snapback zone might extend to your location! So if a sneaky sneaky wolf chews the line, it might snap back at you at deadly speeds, you better paint the snapback areas on the shack!
Again: as the profound calm which only apparently precedes and prophesies of the storm, is perhaps more awful than the storm itself; for, indeed, the calm is but the wrapper and envelope of the storm; and contains it in itself, as the seemingly harmless rifle holds the fatal powder, and the ball, and the explosion; so the graceful repose of the line, as it silently serpentines about the oarsmen before being brought into actual play- this is a thing which carries more of true terror than any other aspect of this dangerous affair. But why say more? All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, everpresent perils of life. And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side.
I don't think you need to be a sailor to have logical thinking,, it's like me saying don't stuck your hand into a engine cylinder because I'm a mechanic,, don't get me wrong I'm not trying to look down upon your profession,, but it's halfway fault because ppl fail to think logically
As a teenager who's doing absolutely nothing with their life and lives nowhere near the sea, this information was incredibly useful. Thank you, RU-vid!
As a pilot who was working in the field for 7 years flying people, this piece of information was very helpful in a way I cannot describe. thank you RU-vid for recommending!
As a college student studying psychology and neuroscience in a landlocked area this is incredibly informative and useful in my everyday life. Thank you, RU-vid recommendations!
Great video with super helpful visualisations. One small update though: insurers now recommend not to pain snap back zones since this gives a false impression of safety. Instead, the entire mooring deck is to be considered a snap-back zone
As an actual occupational health professional, that is a good idea. If you can't predict all the failure modes of a line snapping back, the only thing sure is to stay as far a possible from it.
This information is most useful to a general audience when you are using a tow cable. A tow cable is generally a metal cable mounted on the front or back of a large car or tractor, used to tow other vehicles out of ditches or mud. You may have to use one someday, and it is important that nobody be within the danger zone of the tow cable when you are applying tension to it. Tow cables can turn into giant scythes if they snap. The force is enough to cut a man in two at the hip.
Yeah a good way to mitigate danger is to weight the cable or.use a chain weighted as well you use a moving blanket and a large length of blanlet first then the chain loosely draped and if your realy woried another blanket over when the tension breaks the loose chains soak up most of the intertia usualy dropping it right to the ground worls very well ive only snatched uncovered 1 time and was using tow rope but it had enough velocity that it recoiled past my head in the cab went through both the front and back windows
@@Mayurbhedru yeah ive seen compound bow injuries caused by decambering while shooting its a loss of tension all the same but doesnt always break the line and some of those people had the inside of their holding arm filleted of elbow to wrist
As a Purchaser for manufacturer, this is truly essential information. Huge thank you to the RU-vid algorithm for sending me this important safety bulletin.
As a teenager male who living in the north on the mountain that just scrolling youtube at 3AM and stumbled upon this clip 2 years ago and I didn't even slightest interested in maritime work at all And now i am an able-bodied seaman on a cargo ship. RU-vid algorithm god have already decided my fate since then i see.
Not only did I get this recommended to me on my normal RU-vid account multiple times, but I also got it recommended on my school account multiple times. This video must be mandatory for every RU-vid user to watch.
As a peroson living over 1000 miles away from any ocean and reside in a mountainous area, i could not go a single day longer without this information. Thank you.
This is actually an extremely well animated and explained safety video, really good visuals for the danger. I wish every safety video/explanation was like this but most are just a PowerPoint slide that explain next to nothing.
As a 14 year old that is living in his parent's basement, this is very helpful! Edit: Even though it's been 10 months, but I'd like to clarify to some people that I do not live in my parent's basement. That was a joke.
@@nyx7056 I've seen some pretty nice basements of my friends' houses back in the day. There were couches and TVs and some even had a mini bar. My basement on the other hand isn't too pretty.
@@nyx7056 I think he most likely lives in a basement that was converted into a bedroom, not all basements are gray, dingy and gross. Sometimes they are just converted into normal rooms
When my friend was serving in the Navy in Korea, my friend died in one of the cases in this video. He was a close friend of mine from the same elementary, middle and high school, and when he died, he was only a young man in his 20s. I don't know why this video was suddenly recommended to me, but this video reminds me of that friend. It is quite heartbreaking.
lets go, youtube decided I needed to learn about maritime safety. Truly needed this in my life and I will avoid snap-back regions the next time I encounter a shipping dock at my landlocked state with no shipyards. Truly this knowledge I have gained is irreplaceable
As a sailor working on a cargo ship where I have to handle lines on a daily basis, this is some vital information. Thank you, RU-vid, for recommending.
I work on cargo ships and it's a very scary thing when a line breaks, it sounds like something exploded. Once time when tension becomes too strong, somebody shout "Take cover!" and line breaks, nobody injured except shitty cheap chinese rope :D
As a USN sailor in the 70's, I witnessed or heard about numerous incidents involving lines (or ropes). I saw one sailor get both legs broken and another get a broken arm when an idiot LTJG commanding a destroyer tried to use the line and his engines to swing his ship into position next to mine. The line didn't break, but it had enough tension to overcome the friction of the wraps around the capstan, and the loose end lying on the destroyer's deck hit or scattered several seamen in the area. I also witnessed a line breaking and actually penetrating the bulkhead of a tugboat, killing a crewman inside the vessel. I was nearly injured when a destroyer coming along side my ship used a shotgun-like projectile to shoot a line over to our ship. I had just come out onto the main deck from a hatch when the projectile nearly hit my head, bounced off the bulkhead, and landed on the deck in front of me. Sailors on the other ship shouted at me to grab the line. I did. I picked it up and threw it back at them.
Best thing about safety videos is that the bodily harm and deaths shown in these have all, in fact, happened to someone. Its morbid i know, but sometimes seeing freak accidents with 1 in million chances of happening like these make me feel better for having anxiety. Thank you for your service maritime sfaety channel o7
The first scenario happened to my brother in law. He was paralyzed from the neck down, and now he is slowly regaining movement in his fingers and arms. A momentary lapse of judgement and a single second is all it takes for your life to change forever
wow thank u for making me recognize even the relatively easier jobs have their own dangers now i can recognize the hard jobs of sailors all around the world better, because of u !!!!
As a warehouse worker who had to watch for packages falling off of high conveyor belts, toppling high stacked wooden pallets and a forklift, learning about line safety is very beneficial.
Yes. Those lines are everywhere in every warehouse. You won't see em comin' for ya when you are distracted picking up boxes. Look around every corner. They are lurking just waiting for their next victim. Then WHAM! The snap will shatter your insides if you aren't careful.
Thanks Sherlock, before reading this comment I totally thought it was a conspiracy propaganda video from the lizard-people trying to make us afraid of ropes, /s
@@hozhuofeng9877 my dad almost lost his hand due to this he had to get stitches it is no joke it is mostly common Unfortunately because he worked on chemical he died on 22nd April 2021 due to cancer I will miss him
@@Shady36 lines are used in many places for many things. This stuff applies to crane work, haulage, etc... it's always a good idea to be careful around anything that can store a lot of mechanical energy.
*maritime related. Marine is usually related to things under the water. "Maritime is used most often in connection with seafaring, with sea travel, shipping, and exploration, and aspects of the sea in relation to those activities; whereas marine relates directly to the sea and its creatures."
I think having a smal crevice in back of that solid support thing can help... then use a crowbar like rod to place rope and slide it out from crevice or gap created. So no fingers would be involved.
Yes, this video is helpful to you neurologists because it tells you about how some of your patients get injured. The guy at 0:17 looks like one that is up your alley.
My dad used to work at an offshore oil rig, and once he told me the story of one of his friends who went paraplegic due to a line accident. He was standing on the rope when the line tensed up. My dad said the guy was flung with such a force he landed like 15 meter away from where he was standing. Scary stuff. Line safety is no joke
