🔍 Key Concepts

• Snap-back zones on deck when lines are under heavy strain • Dangers of standing in the bight of a line or inside a coil • Safe body position relative to winches, capstans, and fairleads while mooring

💭 Think About

• Look at where a crew member would be if the line suddenly took a heavy strain or parted—at which marked position would there be no safe escape path? • Which position places a person inside or very close to a loop/coil of line that could close up violently if the line surges or parts? • Compare the risk at each spot: Which one combines both a powerful machine (like a winch) and poorly led/loose line around the crew member?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify any position where a person is standing inside a bight or coil of line • Check if any position is directly in line with a heavily loaded mooring line or fairlead where snap-back would hit • Verify which position leaves the person trapped by gear and line if something goes wrong (no clear way to step clear)
