Sorry about the sound of aghastness… but that’s a scary and vivid image! Yes, there are warnings of that sort of thing in the handbooks too….

We lived up north on Lock and Dam #13, and they would take kids on a tour of the facility with myriad threats about how you could get killed at a dam. Part of the lesson was about the cables that moored the barges: if one snapped it could cut a man in half. It seemed like folklore, but years later I met a friend who was raised down by Lock and Dam #16 and had a summer job there mowing the lawn. One day a cable snapped and took off a guy’s legs, both of ‘em, just below the knees.
