Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:00 p.m. on April 23, 1991, the crew had raised the derrick mast in order to move the semi-tractor and the trailer that was transporting the rig. In order to do this, the mast had to be supported on both sides. Employee #1, the truck driver who was located on the transporting trailer beneath the mast, had placed one support under the mast when the raising ram hydraulic system failed. The one support alone could not hold the mast. It dropped down on the truck driver, crushing him. Employee #1 died.
