Hmmmmmm....this from the New York Daily News
(http://www.nydailynews.com/news/local/story/314094p-268678c.html):
A Long Island man on a Jet Ski was decapitated after striking a
sailboat's anchor line in Great South Bay last evening, police said.
John Wilson, 34, of North Babylon, L.I., and another man were riding the
watercraft near Squaw Island about 5:15 p.m. when tragedy struck, cops
said.
Wilson hit an anchor line dropped by Paul Harding of Massapequa Park,
whose sailboat had run aground in Wansers Cut, police said. Harding, who
was below deck when the accident occurred, was waiting for high tide so
he could sail again. Nassau County Police Department's Marine 6
transported Wilson's body to shore. The medical examiner's office will
perform an autopsy at Nassau University Medical Center. Wilson's
companion was not injured.
...I'm sure it was quite painless...
