Narrative

Employee was on the side of the derrick untying tubular when his fast line became caught up in his SRL. The employee was pulled away from the ladder. The SRL stopped and so did the anchor. Therefore, no fall resulted. The employee received contusions to the head, ribs, and chest area. He also suffered bruising to the brain and lungs and received six stitches to the forehead. He did not lose consciousness.
