Final narrative
An employee was pulling back a stand of heavy-weight drill pipe so it could be racked in the derrick. While the driller was slacking off with the top-drive, the injured employee unlatched the drill pipe elevators and pulled the pipe toward himself. The pipe came at him faster than expected and as he tried to get out of the way, the pipe hit his left ankle/leg and fractured the left tibia.
