Investigation Summary
On July 12, 2006, Employee #1, a floor hand, was standing back of the kelly on a double drilling rig to allow another stand to be connected to the drill string. Employee #1 pushed the kelly forward and placed his left leg on the rotary table. The kelly struck the rotary table guard. The guard was displaced tilted upward, trapping Employee #1's left leg between the guard and the kelly. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for a compound fracture of the left tibia and fibula. The guard was not secured to prevent displacement.
