Over and over again it has been repeated how dangerous these operations are but still people don't learn.
This happened onboard MSC vessel (whose name shall not be disclosed).
While the mooring gang in the aft station were picking up the rope.
Tail of the mooring rope got stuck in the Capstan, Winch man failed to realise the same and as a result he kept hoisting the when he noticed it, it was already too late.
Due to tension in the eye of the tail.
Tail got snapped and hit the Winch man severly.
Present condition of the man is not yet known, but still Sailors should not forget these operations are difficult and fatal and you should never take it lightly.
