Abstract: On March 3, 2006, Employee #1 was standing on a weight-basket platform of a rig, approximately 75 feet above the ground, pulling pipe from a malfunctioning oil well. The block of the rig hit the crown, causing the wire rope holding the block to brake. The block came down and struck Employee #1 in the head, killing him. The accident investigation revealed that there was no Crown-A-Matic anti-two block device installed.
