Anyone see the news last night about the woman in Marshfield who's arm was severed by an outboard prop?

While backing out from a slip an older woman was in the back of the boat facing the motor, when the motor was put into forward, she was jolted and went over the stern where her arm was amputated by the prop.
Thankfully one of the guys at the marina was also an emt and stopped the bleeding.

Be safe.
