Employee Is Killed When Caught in Rotating Kelly

At approximately 9:15 p.m. on February 24, 2006, Employee #1 was adding lubricating oil to the rotary of a water well drilling rig. He did not stop the rig as he performed this procedure, and his raincoat was caught by the rotating Kelly. Although there were no protrusions on the Kelly, the self-adhesive properties of the raincoat caused it and Employee #1 to be drawn into the rotating Kelly. Employee #1 was killed.
