That is the HARD way to play jump-rope! They say that on the flight deck one must have his head on a swivel. The Yellow Shirt was watching!

I used to work with a guy that was on the carrier when that happened ( he was a grape) he had a video tape of it that was made on board. Said the guy was all black and blue and had him in a safety film a short time later.
