Investigation Summary
On January 13, 2005, Employee #1, with Patterson-UTI Drilling Co., was working on top of a derrick approximately 45 miles south of Ouray, UT. On the second day of "rig-up", a thick (approximately 1.25-in.) bridle line became caught on a small "dog-ear". Several unsuccessful attempts were made to free the line. The tension on the line caused it to slip off of the dog-ear and strike Employee #1's head. After receiving first aid on site, he was airlifted to the University of Utah Hospital, where he died on January 15, 2005.
