## Narrative

A crew was rigging down when a weight bucket became hung up while the derrick was being scoped in. One of the employees pulled on the cable, causing the climbing assist weight to come loose and descend toward him. As a result, he let go of the line and was struck by the weight. He suffered a right arm fracture, broken ribs, and lacerations to his left gallbladder and kidney.
