Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:45 a.m. on February 28, 2015, a 33-year old male drill rig operator was confirming the angle of the drill stem of a hydraulic crawler rig. As the operator turned to return to the drill control panel, the operator's high-visibility vest became caught on the rotating drill stem, entangling the operator. The operator was killed by severe body system injuries, including lacerations, broken bones, head trauma, and amputation of body parts.
