Electric Shock - Contact with Overhead Line thru Load Line

An employee was operating a drilling rig to remove the suction pipe from an existing well. He had placed the boom directly over the well and had attached the load line to the casing adapter with a nipple. The nipple broke away from the casing adapter, at the threads, and the load line flipped up into an overhead power line, electrocuting the employee.
