That job at the Port of Savannah where my load line got snagged

I was lifting a 40-foot container last month at the Port of Savannah and my tagline got caught on a corner of the trailer. It whipped around and almost took out a spotter's hard hat before I could set the load down. Anyone else had a close call with taglines getting tangled on uneven ground?

That tagline whipped around" brings back a memory of my old man's rigging days. He always said the worst tangles come from uneven ground because you can't read the line's path right. Once saw a guy lose two fingers when a snagged line snapped back on a concrete dock.
