Narrative

An employee was tripping pipe out of a well. After one of the joints was unlatched, the block began coming down while there was an 18-inch pipe wrench stuck underneath the brake assembly. The block slowed down but did not stop. The block and bales impacted the rig floor. The bales fell on top of the injured employee's leg and head and the employee sustained an open fracture to the lower left leg/calf.
