Investigation Summary
On July 18, 2001, seven employees were struck by an approximately 4-inch-diameter steel pipe after an accidental sudden release of 6,800 psi from a flow back line. After the sudden release of pressure, the steel pipe wrapped around one of two trucks parked side-by-side. The employees that were standing between the trucks were struck by the pipe as it flailed. The pipe amputated both legs on two of the employees. Employee #1 and #2 died at the scene. Employee #3 and #4 suffered amputations and were hospitalized. Employee #5, #6, and #7 were hospitalized with bruises and contusions.
