conclusion: you're not safe, there's nowhere you can hide, the lines are always watching

What I learnt: don't even come near the lines, screw them

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 KZfaq.

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.

As a bank teller living in a landlocked area, this is some vital information. Thank you, KZfaq, for recommending

"Always avoid the snapback zone" *Shows the whole deck *

KZfaq 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 a guitarist who has been cut by snapped guitar strings, this information is very accurate and useful.

As a sailor, I can confirm this is not exaggerated and is as risky as described.

"IS EXTREMELY DEADLY" relaxing music playing in the background.

As a ski patroller sitting in a shack on a mountain peak, this information is incredibly beneficial. Thank you, KZfaq!

As a teenager that’s sitting on their phone instead of doing homework this was incredibly helpful. Thanks KZfaq!

I like how every once in awhile KZfaq's algorithm has a brain fart and everyone in the world gets to learn about maritime safety.

"I fear no man, but that thing" *Snapback zone* "It scares me." This video keeps coming back to me like a cancer. Send help.

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 KZfaq for recommending!

I don't know why you chose this for me youtube, but I will never go near a rope again

This feels like a cross between 1000 Ways to Die and How it’s Made

As a cargo vessel with a bunch of unwieldy rope lines in tow, this information is incredibly helpful. Thank you, KZfaq!

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

When I become a pirate this will come in handy.

AH YES THE NORMAL LINE HANDLING ACCIDENT PREVENTION THAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR. THANKS KZfaq.

As an aerospace engineering student who lives in a landlocked state, this information is incredibly useful!

As someone living in a landlocked country, who is currently learning game design, thank you youtube for teaching me maritime safety.

"Killing on the rebound, too." Angel: So how did you die? Me: A rope killed me. *Twice.*

As a person this was incredibly useful thanks

I love how occasionally, like once a year I get this in my recommended, and I always watch it...

As someone who lives in the mountains, this video is a life saver

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. KZfaq algorithm god have already decided my fate since then i see.

The new Mortal Kombat update looks nice

As a warehouse employee that frequently operates forklifts, this is incredibly helpful. Thanks, KZfaq!

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 feels like a god-tier shitpost

NOOO I DONT WANNA BE TAKEN TO THE “SNAP BACK ZONE”

Did a temp job as a line handler and i watch a video just like this. This brings back memories.

As a visual effects artist that is behind a desk all day, this will definitely be lifesaving. Thank you, KZfaq algorithm.

As a person planning nefarious deeds using maritime line tensions, this video is extremely helpful to know what my targets may be looking out for

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.

I see The algorithm has brought us together again lads. I bid you all a fine day and am looking forward to our next meeting in 6 months.

The KZfaq algorithm thought we needed to see this. Thank you for being so considerate and caring about our safety.

I will never complain about my job again. 😐😢

As a software engineer it’s very important to learn marine safety. Thank you KZfaq for helping me at 1:45:30 AM.

As a translation student who will probably work from home in the future, thank you KZfaq for recommending me this useful video.

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.

0:35 Other fingers..... 😫😫😫 index finger.........💪🏼💪🏼😎

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.

I love these videos with completely random themes that for some reason appear at least once in everyone's recommended

Nobody: The rope: *snap back to reality*

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.

I am guy who signed up at a gym recently, this thing has just surpressed my thoughts on human strength at the right time.

KZfaq figured out I'm into lines, chains, etc under high tension. Now it sends me these every few months and I can't stop.

In a nutshell: stay away from any ship ever.

KZfaq: wanna learn about maritime safety?? 18 million people: sure, why not?

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

I just watched this all the way though because the animation was stimulating and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Okay but lets be honest the trumpet in the background is an absolute vibe

Nobody: Me at a high school house party in 2010: “Always avoid the snapback zone”

As a 10th grader whos got mock exams at 7 and its currently 4:09 in the morning, i found this video very informative and helpful. Thankyou, KZfaq!

As a teenager who hasnt even seen the ocean let alone a large dock, this information was critical to my memory. Thank you!

ok...so....Snapback zone = Don't take a step on the deck if you want to live!

As an accountant who's never once travelled by air or by sea, this recommend was incredibly useful. Thanks, KZfaq!

This is now the second time this was recommended to me. Last one was two years ago. KZfaq knows what I need in life.

As a regular person who does not work at ship docks (or work at all), I can confidently say that this tutorial is important for my safety.

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, KZfaq, for recommending.

What people fear when near the ocean: Sharks, stingrays, seagulls... When people should actually fear:

This is one of the videos that KZfaq recommends to everyone once in awhile.

As a line looking how to be the deadliest possible, this information was incredible useful. Thank you, KZfaq !!

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

Not only did I get this recommended to me on my normal KZfaq account multiple times, but I also got it recommended on my school account multiple times. This video must be mandatory for every KZfaq user to watch.

As a person who have no plans for such field, neither want to see a port, this info was really very important to know for me. Thanks youtube.

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

0:34 this honestly is bringing up unknown fears from deep inside lol

"Snapback Zone" sounds like something Eminem would've released in 2003

As a social worker in the middle of the continental United States, this will be needed soon. Thank you.

As a economics major and job seeker, this video was vital! Thank you youtube!

As a Electronics engineer, this is absolutely essencial for my marine safety, thank you youtube for recommending this!

teacher: okay class what did we learn today? everyone: ALWAYS AVOID THE SNAPBACK ZONE

Thank you KZfaq for this recommendation. I really needed this.

As a graphic designer living in the mountains of Norway this is incredibly useful, Takk så mye KZfaq 😊

This wasn't in the Sea of Thieves tutorial.

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.

Whenever i see a recommended video way out of whatever internet bubble i was living in atm i always click on it cos it's bound to be a treat. Am i the only one who looks forward to them??

As an 11 year old Australian who's sitting on his couch at home, this was very useful and informative. Thank you, will take care. Edit: I am now 12.

I am a sailor by profession and this is actually true. The ropes are known to cause lot of damage. Be safe, be aware.

As a neurologist who has never even considered the thought of any marine-related activity, this is some extremely paramount info! Thank you!

Brilliant video. The shot of a person being flung by a tightening bite was undeniably hilarious, if you can ignore that it injured their neck.

I am a thousand miles from the nearest boat... And I'm still watching this. It is so interesting

This is just a rope, what can it do Meanwhile the rope: I am about to *snapback* this man's entire career

who got this is recommended randomly....

As a random person in a basement dead in the middle of Colorado, I cannot begin to tell you how useful this information is.

I did not know I needed this video until it was randomly recommended to me today.😂

0:37 Fingers caught in the rope: " *AAAGGGHH!* " Index Finger: "I'm just built different"
