Narrative

A frac pump was running at a well location. An employee heard a rattling sound and walked over to investigate. A maintenance packing bar was laying on top of the pump. When the employee got even with pump, the packing bar slipped into the pump, which kicked the packing bar back out. The packing bar struck the employee in the right eye, causing right eye orbital socket fractures.
