## Narrative

An employee was rigging down a workover rig for relocation. The derrick had been retracted and the top section was down. The employee was on the rig floor ensuring the lines were not becoming tangled or caught on anything. While coiling up the slack of two guidelines, the swab line tightened unexpectedly while being winched in, and caught the employee's right leg. The leg was amputated below the base of the hip.
