## Narrative

As the crew was tripping 20-foot rods, the driller assistant (DA) requested an adjustment to the jib boom. Driller contacted the head tilt lever instead of the Jib boom causing the rod to move forward unexpectedly and striking the DA between the chin and the lip causing a laceration that required 4 stitches to close.
