What happens if a mooring line snaps? 😱⚓
These ropes can hold ships weighing tens of thousands of tons in place. But under tension, they’re like loaded springs.

When one fails… it can whip back at deadly speeds, slicing through metal, wood — and anything in its path.

⚠️ Sailors call it the “snapback zone.”
⚠️ One wrong step, and you might not walk away.

This is why mooring is one of the most dangerous jobs at sea. Would you stand anywhere near these lines?
