Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was suspended from a "tugger line" above the working deck of a steam-powered well rig. He was moving "packer" (heavy wall pipe) across the deck to an opening to the cellar when he fell 9 ft 6 in. to the deck, fracturing his L2, L3, and L4 vertebrae. The fall was caused by defective safety equipment, which was subsequently removed from service.
