I was on a carrier (Independence) that had an incident like this. Sailor tripped over the chock-blocks and it was enough that when he left his feet it took him straight in....they got him to the medical center and saved his life - stabilized him and got him medevac’d to shore all within about 45 minutes. He lost both legs but lived. Folks were mighty edgy on the flight deck for quite some time after that.

This old Army guy loves those youtube carrier videos. If I knew then what I know now I would have gone Navy.One thing's for sure...working a carrier flight deck is never boring!
