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?

It takes a lot less force than most people realize. There’s a girl on YouTube (Kristie Sita, fitness content creator) who lost a hand (was completely severed) being towed in an inner tube on a lake. Was unable to be reattached.
