Investigation Summary
On February 21, 2011, Employees #1 and #2 were assisting in the relocation of a stabilizer, which was being lifted to position by a pipe wrangler for loading onto a forklift. Employee #1 was designated a driller and Employee #2 a floorman. As the stabilizer was being lifted by the pipe wrangler, it fell and struck Employee #2 in the leg, trapping him between the stabilizer and rig floor. The forklift operator immediately worked to remove the stabilizer from Employee #1's leg; however, in addition to freeing Employee #2's leg, the forklift also dislodged a piece of equipment or parts. The dislodged component struck and killed Employee #1. Employee #2 survived with only receiving contusions and abrasions on his leg.
