Reference:

hauling in lines/snap back zones

One significant risk when handling mooring lines is snap backs, which is the sudden release of the stored energy in a tensioned mooring line when it suddenly breaks. When a line is loaded, it stretches and there is thus a lot of energy in the line. If the line then suddenly breaks, this energy is released and the ends of the line snap back, striking anything in their path with tremendous force.

Snap back zones are deck areas where crew are `at risk of being struck by one of the broken ends when a line has parted.
