Investigation Summary
The drilling crew was experiencing difficulty removing the drill string from the well. They began removing the drill pipe one joint at a time. They had connected the kelly and swivel to the traveling block and were making reverse connections. As a joint was being lowered into the mousehole, the traveling block assembly contacted the monkey board. The monkey board fell about 88 feet and hit Employee #1, the floorman. He died. The monkey board was not secured by a safety chain or cable to prevent it from falling in the event it became disconnected from the pipe racking platform.
