How Does a Tug-of-War Accident Sever Somebody’s Arms?
I recently learned that the game of tug-of-war can sever arms when the rope snaps. How is this possible? What does that look like? What physical mechanism makes this possible? Wouldn’t everybody just fall backwards?

Remember at my kids primary school they had a parent tug of war. Stupidly mid way through they encouraged more parents to get involved. Rope snapped (was a thick cotton rope) and hit a woman in the neck. Caused massive bruising but thankfully no long term damage. They never did another tug of war after that. Could have been so much worse if it had been a different type of rope.
