The thing about their show is once you proclaim that line SnapBack is a myth...you're credibility is shot just having to "test" it is absurd

I have an experiment, let's have them go stand around mooring lines, and have another boat drag across the taught lines in the water...




I have no clue what you're talking about here...

Line SnapBack. When a stressed line snaps it sends the line flying. It can cut you clean in half...of course it's synthetic lines (99% of mooring lines) and they called it a myth because they tested on the wrong line

They could just interview all of the people missing limbs or speak to any physicist. It's a documented thing, and after doing their "thing" (and it's absurd to even feature it) they got it dead wrong.
