WHAT HAPPENED:

After being released from a daywork contract, the crew was preparing to move the rig to a new drill site. During bridling-up operations, a rig worker climbed up and stood on the side of the derrick to keep the bridle line from kinking when raised by the traveling block. The employee fell 60 feet (18 meters) to the rotary table and was killed.
