Investigation Summary
A two-person crew was drilling a water well at a residential building site. The drill rig had a drill head and a casing hammer on the mast of the rig. One of the two workers was lowering the drill head when it struck the casing hammer, which was suspended by a wire rope. The wire rope broke, and the hammer fell, striking the worker on the head and killing him.
