Narrative

IP was handling the wireline with hydraulic controls when the overshot became hung up on the bottom of the deck causing an uncontrolled release of energy resulting in overshot to contact the IP in the lower lip. This resulted in a laceration between the lower lip and chin and chipping one lower tooth.
