Abstract: Employee #1, age 18, was part of a well servicing crew that was pulling tubing from a well after a swabbing job. A sand line cutter and drop bar had been used earlier to sever the sand line, and they were still in the hole. As the tubing was being raised, a gas pocket was encountered, liquid began to bubble up, and the cutter and drop bar were ejected out of the hole. Employee #1 was impaled in the chest by the cutter. He was transported to the hospital, where he later died.
