Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:30 a.m. on April 17, 1997, Employee #1, of MMI Services, was working the morning tower on oil well drill rig #30 in Taft, California. The drill rig crew was in the process of making a connection. The kelly was disconnected from the drill string and the driller pulled up on the kelly so the derrickman could insert the kelly hook on the hang-back line. At the same time, Employee #1 and a coworker were trying to push the kelly over to the rat hole. The kelly became caught in the derrick and the bottom swung out, striking Employee #1. He was thrown across the floor, hit the guardrails, and fell to the floor, striking his head on some equipment. Employee #1 sustained serious injuries, for which he was hospitalized.
