I know someone who was going through the locks at Lake Washington, where boats are lowered down to sea level. This is near Seattle. They use steel cables to secure the boats while the water is moving. A dock worker was not paying attention, a big steel cable snapped and one side whipped back at the guy's sailboat. His wife was on the bow, as that was her station to secure then remove the cables.

The cable came back hard and cut his wife's head off. That was the end of their cruise.
Last time I took my sail boat though the lacks we used our own lines. Never saw a steel cable there.
