I'm reminded of Doug Lloyd's revision of the Beaufort Scale 
descriptions, the relevant section of which is excerpted below

"No.  8  -  36-43 mph, Gale; Self-rescue skills quickly becoming
                       irrelevant. Limbs seen being dismembering during
                       PF rescues using arm under deck line holds.
                       Klepper owners seen running before gale happily
                       sipping tea from their flasks."
