Narrative

The employee was assisting with mobile rig removal from a well site. As pipe was being pulled from the hole, rope used for pullout got caught up and pipe began to slip. The employee reached in to grab the pipe and his hand/finger was caught between piping and the drilling equipment, resulting in amputation of the right middle finger down to the knuckle.
