Abstract: On April 1, 2003, Employee #1 was working as a derrick man on the top board of a drill derrick during pipe retrieval operations. The three-eights-in. chain attached to the mule line, a seven-sixteenths-in. wire rope, became entangled in the rig's elevator as it was descending. During pipe racking operations, Employee #1's right foot was caught or pinned between the board platform and the mule line. The resulting pressure exerted by the mule line amputated Employee #1's lower right foot. He was hospitalized.
