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?

Ask yourself, could 14 people pulling you oposing sides sever your arm? The rope is holding all that energy, and when it snaps it releases it all at once as a superpowered whip.
