    Be careful here. Note that current training guidelines in the Canadian
    Coast Guard Auxiliary do not allow the wearing of gloves when handling
    lines (wire ropes excepted), for the exact reason that the glove can
    get snagged and cause the loss of limb, or pull the crew member
    overboard. That was also drilled home by our ex-Navy trainers.
