It's all fun and games 'till someone loses an arm

[Jaded]

A 22-year-old man's arm was cut off in what authorities called a freak accident in South Florida.

Authorities say that on Saturday man had been riding an inner tube being dragged by a personal watercraft near the Hillsboro Inlet. He had wrapped the rope connecting the two around his arm when a large wave apparently struck the inner tube and the watercraft. The force of the wave tightened the rope with such force that it cut through the man's arm.

Pompano Beach Fire-Rescue spokeswoman the man was conscious and alert after the accident.

I always thought it was all fun and games till someone get poked in the eye with a sharp stick

Why anyone would wrap a rope around their arm when there is going to be force applied is beyond me. It could have been ripped off even without the "rogue wave". You hear about it all the time in tug-o-war games.
