Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were sitting in a trailer, performing an annual pressure test on a frac head manifold. The frac head was on the ground outside the open rear trailer doors, approximately 20 ft from where they were stationed. Water pressure within the head caused a piece to blow off, striking Employee #1 in the chest and Employee #2 in the leg. Employee #1 died at the scene as a result of internal injuries. Employee #2 was transported by Life Flight to the University of Utah Hospital.
