Investigation Summary
Employees had rigged up an oilfield drilling rig the day before the accident. Two hold down bolts were placed in the wrong position on the mast. When the crew latched on to the pile driving hammer to drive the surface pipe, the mast was pulled over. Employee #1 was working near the top of the 131-foot tall mast and rode it as it fell toward the ground, and jumped clear of the mast before it hit the ground. Employee #1 died the next day of internal injuries.
