higher4hockey Reviewed by higher4hockey on . How the War on Drugs kills our Sailors When I was in the Coast Guard, I learned of the dangers of a rope under tension "parting" (breaking). This happens when a rope under stress gets too taught, and there is a yank, or slow increase to the point of parting. When a rope parts there is snapback, like a whip or a rubberband breaking. Sailors have been literally sliced in half instantly by a rope parting. Oftentimes when you hear of a sailor dying in a "boating accident" (not drowning) this is how he died, but they don't say it Rating: 5
